Osho used to say that the religions put guilt on you.
You feel guilty when you are in a religious place.
Why?
Because that is a technology to collect money from people, or donations from people, by
putting guilt.
And then he claimed, that "I’m the one who doesn’t want to put any guilt on you, but
then just figure it out for yourself."
But his own, what he has ignored is the practical life.
So the practical life and also an in-depth study.
He never studied “Yoga Sutra.”
You know, he has many volumes on the Yoga Sutra and the Shiva Sutra, “The Book of
Secrets”, six volumes.
And then in order to study the scriptures, you have to go indepth.
The meaning is not important, you know.
I speak about Oral Roberts.
Oral Roberts built a University with no money.
Money came; the donations came; people would argue that money did not fall off the roof.
But then his methodology is very important.
He said, “I’m going to build my university or God’s university, the way God created
the world.
How did he create the world?
In the beginning there was The Word. And The Word was with God.
“The Word” is the Sound.
The Sound is the fundamental building block from which you can construct the world, the
whole world.
And he did that. He went and was fasting and reading for three months — the Bible, which
is the Word of God.
And that is what you have in the Hindu Tradition, Brahman, Shubda Brahman.
Shubda is the Sound.
God is Sound.
And if you understand the Sound, then you can understand the whole creation — your
mind, your body, and the phenomenal nature.
Everything can be understood by that. So that’s for now. God Bless.
