are all false. Their manyness is a proof of their falsity.
Q: BHAGWAN, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF RELIGION DID NOT EXIST?
A: It will be just far out....
Life would be a real joy, without any guilt.
People will be more authentic, more sincere, in living and in every aspect of their being.
Religion has made them hypocrites. It has given them masks to bear. It has hidden their original faces.
If there was no religion people will have their originality, their original faces, their sincerity, their uniqueness. And they will be playful about everything, there will be no seriousness. All seriousness is created by religions....
Asking questions which are absurd, then answering those questions, then forcing people, conditioning people to accept those false answers for false questions -- they have destroyed humanity tremendously. They have destroyed your freedom, they have destroyed your joy, they have destroyed your laughter, they have destroyed as much as nobody else.... These religions have been a curse, not a blessing.
If there were no religions life will be a real blessing and my whole effort is that there should be no religions and man should be left alone with his reality and the reality of existence, without all these pretenders, prophets, saviors, messiahs....
It will bring a great newness to a life which seems to be dull, a freshness to a life which these people have made a sin. It will bring songs to people's heart, it will be possible again to dance under the stars for no reason at all... just because it is so beautiful to dance, so beautiful to sing, so beautiful to love, so beautiful to live.
The burden on the heart put by these religions is Himalayan.
It is a miracle that man has still survived... somehow, he goes on creeping under the burden, but he has survived.
But it is only survival, it is not life.
Q: BHAGWAN, ANOTHER QUESTION: WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU?
A: It depends on each moment.
I cannot give a wholesale answer to it because that means again I am proposing a philosophy, again making a religion that `this is important for me and this will be important
