Part-8- Some People are to My Father

 

Some people came to my father and asked; can we go to the invitation of worship? Since invitations are coming from different worship pavilions. In response, the father said that accepting the invitation means supporting the work, and no religion is acceptable to the atheist. Now, if we attend a worship pavilion by the invitation of all such worship places, then we are supporting the deities, which is never acceptable to an atheist. Some people asked a question, as an example, the brightest of humanity, I have seen many atheists go to the worship pavilion, take selfies with idols, receive Prasad (Food items that given to the deity) from the pavilion. What do you say about that? The father said, it is not humanity; it is a foolishness, for all these atheists are sacrificing their own policies to save their stomachs and to take advantage of themselves. Everyone understood the father`s statement. They shook their head and went to where they were. I also came to search for saving my stomach. On the way Micheal met. Micheal said, today I will feed you. When I heard this, I fell from the sky who does not urinate in public toilets for fear of spending money, he will feed me today! So, I asked, ``Do you really want to feed me? `` Micheal shook his head and replied, yes. Okay, Let`s go. Today my business is closed. Micheal said, ok. After a while, I asked Michel, ``Where are we going? Michel said that there is a huge pavilion in front of us and we will go there and take Prasad (Food items that give to the deity). I said, Is it ok to go to the pavilion? And you did not see what the father said, if he hears that we have come to the pavilion and eat prasad (Food items that given to the deity), then he will suffer a lot. Michel said that he would not know. How does your father know that we have come here to eat Prasad (Food items that give to the deity)? It is right. So, let`s go. Micheal said, yes. After a while, we reached the pavilion. The beautiful women are walking around the pavilion, the sound of the music from the pavilion is ebbing. Suddenly, I saw a gentleman who said something by shaking his hands. Micheal said, ``Why did the man apologize for? I said that I could not understand anything. Then we started moving forward. Then I was not quite ready for what I could see, I saw my father sitting on the guest chair. Tagore Mosai (priest) is giving Prasad (Food items that give to the deity) to my father and he is taking the Prasad, my father is praising the idols. I told Michael: Look at your king atheist. He says one thing and does another thing. Michael said that your father is setting a bright example of humanity which is only possible for an atheist to attend religious events of all religions. I told him that it is not humanity; it is foolishness. To save his stomach, he is sacrificing his own principles. After seeing my father, I left the pavilion.
