a stream, it starts flowing. It starts moving towards the ocean, towards the ultimate.
Remember, bliss is the goal. You can live blissfully without believing in God, but whether you believe in God or not, if you are searching for bliss you will find God too, because God is nothing but the vision of a blissful man. The whole world becomes divine for the man who has bliss in his heart. There is no God, but the whole world starts overflowing with godliness.
OSHO (TO SAT DEVO): The false gods are the gods that man has manufactured. The true God is the God that has to be discovered. You cannot believe in the true God -- all beliefs lead to false gods. The true God is an adventure: you have to seek and search and risk. It is an arduous pilgrimage but tremendously beautiful, risky but thrilling, dangerous but very alive.
The people who believe in gods remain as false as their gods. Their gods are dead and those people who believe in them are dead. It is not an ordinary thing to have the vision of God, it is bound to change you. If you cling to some false notion -- and all the notions given by others are false -- then you will remain false, pseudo. The whole world has been transformed into hypocrisy by the priests, by the so-called great religions, because they are all based on belief, and belief is blind.
One needs experience of one's own. Only trust your own experience, then you are on the right track. In trusting your own experience you will come closer and closer to truth. And when the trust in oneself becomes absolute, unwavering, God is revealed. God cannot be manufactured by the mind; it has to be lived and experienced through the heart. It is a love phenomenon, not a logical conclusion.
OSHO (TO PRAGITO): You are ready for many things! Just don't hold back! All that is needed her is flowing with the energy that is available; nonresistance is all that is needed.
Our mind naturally resists. The mind is a great no-sayer. It is very afraid to say yes because yes means its death. It lives through no, no is its nourishment. And we have lived with the no for so many lives that we have completely forgotten that there is a possibility
