OSHO Talks: silence shared in words
OSHO International Foundation presents
There is no Creator
You're having fun.
Let me get to some of your quotes
that are out there in the Press,
the one where you say there is no God --
or at least that's what primary headlines read: "There's no God"
Could you expand on that?
Are you saying that there is no God
outside of creation per se?
Certainly I am saying
that there is no creator.
Creation itself
is enough unto itself;
it needs no outside agency
to create it.
The moment you accept an outside agency
to create it,
you fall into a vicious circle.
Because the reasoning is,
how can existence be there
without being created by someone?
That is the reasoning of all the religions.
If you accept their reasoning
then the question arises:
Who created the God?
And if God can be there without being created,
then what is the problem?
Then existence can be there
without being created.
You accept principally
that something can be there without being created.
So why unnecessarily go from A to B,
from B to C ?
And those are all hypotheses.
God A creates God B
God B creates God C,
unnecessarily.
The whole theology is simply nonsense.
It begins with God;
'theo' means God,
and 'logy' means logic about God.
That is a contradiction in terms.
So Creation itself is God...
we are God, you are God, I am God,
everybody here is God...
....the whole Game is God.... or source.
Yes, if you want to use the word God. There is no problem for me....
I'm very familiar with it.
But you will have to change the meaning,
because the donkey will be the God,
even the Yankee will be the God.
Better drop that word
because that word is dangerous.
Sometimes when you are
riding on a donkey, you are riding on a God.
Sometimes you are...
I guess the force that gives us life or whatever it is, the energy...
I would like to call it
pure consciousness.
Just consciousness.
Or, if you are too much attached with the word God,
then call it Godliness.
But don't make it a noun.
Make it a quality.
Godliness is perfectly okay.
Why do you say: "Make it a quality rather than a noun?"
Because the moment you make it a noun,
you kill it.
The moment you make it a noun,
you stop it's growth.
Nouns don't grow,
only verbs grow.
