Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy" It is absolutely necessary that God should be dead, but I want you to know my understanding. It was good of Friedrich Nietzsche to declare God dead; I declare that he was never born! It is a created fiction -- invention, not a discovery. Do you understand the difference between invention and discovery? A discovery is about truth, an invention is manufactured by you. It is man-manufactured fiction. Certainly, it has given consolation, but consolation is not the right thing! Consolation is opium. It keeps you unaware of the reality, and life is flowing past you so quickly -- seventy years will soon be gone . Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth. The very desire to find the truth disappears. But if all your belief systems are taken away from you, in the beginning, certainly, it is bitter. I know the fear, the anxiety, that will surface immediately... which you have been suppressing for millennia, but they are there, very alive. No God can destroy it, only the search for truth and the experience of truth -- not a belief -- is capable of healing all your wounds, of making you a whole being. And the whole person is the holy person to me.
