Home » World As It Is » Many atheists are living happier lives than theists. At least that is what I think. Believers seek help from divine forces to live a happy life, while atheists live their lives on their own strength and do not take any help from divine powers. Why is this so? Is the concept of divine powers an illusion or are human efforts more powerful than the power of a deity🤔?
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.

Arpan means to give, samarpan means to give completely without reserve.
To give means now one has left the situation, the difficulty, the problem entirely in the hands of the Divine. It means that one now obeys the Divine Will alone and lives no more for the satisfaction of one’s ego and desires….
Here is the complete Durga Stotra. You can see for yourself.
‘Hymn to Durga
(দুর্গা-স্তোত্র)

Mother Durga! Rider on the lion, giver of all strength, Mother, beloved of Siva! We born from thy parts of Power, we the youth of India, are seated here in thy temple. Listen, O Mother, descend upon earth, make thyself manifest in this land of India.
Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
