I Am not Interested in Saving Anybody
How can we save humanity from falling even more?
It is one of the trade secrets
of all the religions
to propose
propaganda
that humanity has to be saved.
It is a very strange idea,
but it is so old
that nobody seems to look
into the implications.
Nobody asks
why you are worried
about saving humanity
And you have been saving humanity for thousands of years,
but nothing seems to be saved.
In the first place,
does humanity need any saving?
To answer this question
all the religions have
created
an absolutely fictitious idea
of the original fall,
because unless
there is a fall
the question of saving does not arise.
And the religious
conception of the original fall
is just
rubbish.
Man has been evolving
not falling
in every possible way.
So all these people who become interested in
saving humanity,
in the first place are very egoistic.
They are thinking of themselves as saviors.
In the second place, they are very sick.
They are trying to forget their sickness.
And in the third place,
whatever they do is going to help
man become worse than he is,
because they are sick and blind
and they are trying to lead people.
And when blind people lead
then you can be certain sooner or later the whole lot is going to fall into a well.
No, I am not interested in saving anybody.
In fact, nobody needs saving.
Everybody is perfectly okay as he is.
Everybody is what he has chosen to be.
Now who am I to disturb him?
All that I can do is,
I can say about myself
what has happened to me.
I can tell my story.
Perhaps from that story
someone may get
an insight,
a direction.
Perhaps from that
a door opens up.
But I am not doing anything.
I am simply sharing my own experience.
It is not service,
I am enjoying it, so it is not service
Remember it.
A servant has to be very long-faced and very serious
he is doing such a great work.
He is carrying the Himalayas on his shoulders,
the whole burden of the world.
I am not carrying anything:
No burden of the world, no burden of anybody.
And I am not doing any serious job.
I am just enjoying
telling you about my experience.
To share it is a joy in itself.
If something reaches to you, thank God!
He does not exist.
Don’t thank me – because I exist!
