church

And you become a Catholic or you go to the temple

And you become a Hindu -- no.

You go into your own being

And you become religious.

And to be religious is enough.

There is no need for any adjective.

Jesus is not a Christian, remember

And Buddha is not a Buddhist.

And Krishna is not a Hindu.

These people are far beyond beyond all these

Small small sects, doctrines, creeds, churches.

These people live in a kind of

Boundaryless existence, without boundaries.

When you live in a world of no limits

Then you are truly religious.

My sannyas is not a religion.

Ti is a new type of vision: it is religiousness.

You love, you meditate

You make every effort to be authentic.

You try to be responsible, not according

To any commandments given by somebody else

But according to your own inner light.

You become a light unto yourself.

Up to now you have been only formally a follower of Christ.

Now you are really becoming one.

Remember, Christ has nothing to do with Christianity.

The Jews and the Romans only destroyed the body of Jesus. But Christianity has destroyed his very soul. He was not really crucified in Jerusalem, he has been crucified in the Vatican.

So if somebody really wants to be a Christian now, he should not be a Christian at all in the first place.

Avoid Christianity, because it is a fabrication of the priests.

Follow anyone who is awakened and you are following Christ.

Never follow the priests, follow the prophet.

People follow the priests because they are born in a certain community.

To follow a prophet means to choose. It is risky, it is dangerous. One can never be certain, there is no guarantee.

To go with a prophet is going into the unknown.

And this is what is happening right now: You are moving now into a dangerous journey.

But to live dangerously is the only way to live.

All other ways are ways of dying.

In my vision courage is the most divine quality.

Everything else is secondary, courage
