But who said that atheists are happier. None is happy upon earth except one who has mastered his ego and conquered his desires, – believing in God or not believing in God hardly matters as far as happiness goes. It is only those who seek the Divine and have surrendered themselves completely to Him are happy. Or else those who seek true knowledge and by the power of knowledge have burnt away their desires and reduced the ego to ashes.
Affectionately,
