The Return of the Gods Part 5- An Alternate Look- No Path, Movement without Direction


God is on our side you know during the
last World War the Germans claimed that
God was their copilot in the British
it’s also claimed that God was their
co-pilot both of them destroy life and
property so we would like God to be on
our side all the time and use him and
what has come out of that is only
violence they believe in God or belief
in anything separates us from others the
thought in its very nature can only
create problems cannot help us to solve
the problem and become one with it we
don’t seem to realize that it is the
thought that is separating us from the
totality of things but they know that
they can very well deal with any
philosophy and it thinker past and
present but they have some difficulty to
fit me into any particular frame they
know off so they say that you see there
is no way we can fit this man into any
known cage so what we have to do is to
let the bird fly and I suppose that that
very free flying of course fits in
perfectly with that the very primitive
nature of nature itself you know what
the word religion means and I can hide
down in a way I’m not interested in the
root meaning of the words at all but it
means to to put you back to the source
yes on the other hand it has created
schisms it is responsible for the
tremendous amount of destruction of life
and property it’s very unfortunate but
nevertheless the fact does remain that
it has failed in its purpose which
butit’s also we live in hope and die in
hope that somehow the very same thing
that has trained us
that it is still responsible for the
impossibility of creating this harmony
between and the humans until life around
is still there but in a way the religion
is also mean admittedly it’s done many
destructive things but it’s also done
many creative things I mean great ass
great literature Shakespeare himself in
a way are coming out of the basically
religious experience certainly that’s
true of the West which is coming out of
a Christian experience that is true that
is wavin the widest create ended when
all the systems have failed there is a
danger or a demand depending upon your
particular fancy the religious stuff
stepping into it and trying to tell us
that we have the answers to the graphics
but the revolutions have failed because
they also have tried to fit their
systems into a value system and not else
again it’s the value system but the
demand to the feet of ourselves into the
value system is the cause of man’s
suffering well where then do we go what
I mean what is I mean I am NOT I don’t
want to ask a question of what is the
purpose of life that caused her I mean
obviously
speaking that’s that’s really not a
relevant question no it is a relevant
question but is born out of the
assumption that we know about life see
nobody knows anything about life we have
only a conceptual ideations and
meditations and even the scientists who
are trying to understand life
come up with theories definitions of why
we really do not know anything
and all thought you may not accept my
statement that all our thinking is dead
it is born out of death idea
so they thought or the thinking
mechanism trying to touch life
experience life and capture the trife
and give expression to their life is an
impossible task so what we are concerned
about is leading the living ease of a
relationship with our fellow beings with
the life allow and then we have
everything that we can reasonably ask
for all the material comforts that you
have in the West
the question naturally arises is the top
is the dog
the moment you post the question to
yourself we have a creative problem if
that is all then what is the next step
to take but we are not ready so we do
not see any meaning in other and so we
pose this question to our self and throw
this question sort of this whole thing
they have ancestors what is the meaning
of life what is the purpose of life it
may have its own meaning it may have its
own purposes by understanding the
meaning of life and the purpose of life
we are not going to improve change
modify or alter our behavior practice in
any way but there is a hope that by
understanding the meaning of life
there may not be any meaning of life if
it tells a meaning of life it is already
in operation day ever wanting to
understand the meaning of life seems to
be a futile attempt on our thoughts we
go on asking the questions once a very
old gentleman 95 year old gentleman who
is considered to be a great spiritual
who’d thought all the time see the great
scriptures
he heard that I was there in the town he
came to me and asked me two questions
said what’s the meaning of
I have written hundreds of books telling
people all about the meaning of life and
purpose in life quoting all the
scriptures interpreting them I haven’t
then I told him look here you are 95
years old
you haven’t understood the meaning they
may not be any meaning to fly and the
next question he asked to me is I have
with 95 years I’m going to die one of
these days I want to know what will
happen
I said you may not live long to know
anything about death you have to die so
are you ready to die as long as you are
asking the question what is depth what
is there after death you are already
gained these are all dead questions a
living man would never ask those
questions say am I talking really I am
NOT there is nobody who is talking and I
used this simile of a ventriloquist
and he’s actually carrying on the
dialogue and attributes it to today they
dummy a body call that run whatever to
use so in exactly the same way all the
questions were born out of the answers
we already had
and any answer anybody gives to put an
answer to the end of the questions but
it does not put an end to the questions
but we are not ready to accept the fact
that all the questions are born out of
the answers if the question grows the
answers we take for granted they also go
with the question we are not ready to
throw the answers the game because the
sentiment comes into the picture the
tremendous investment we have in the
faith we have in the teachers also using
mistake so there we are not ready to
brush aside the answers actually we do
not want answers to the questions and
the assumption that the questions are
different from the questioner is false
so if the answer goes the questioner
officers the questioner is nothing but
the answers the illusion is created by
the mind to maintain the continuity of
our identity that’s all that is there so
we can’t afford to let go the identity
whether you’re asleep awake or dreaming
this identity is all the time there and
we do not want to let go that identity
I’m saying that it is
useless or any such it is interest is to
maintain the continuity when the
identity is not there you have no way of
identifying yourself with anything
except through the help of knowledge so
I do accept like anybody else in this
world the reality of the world as which
is in person otherwise I would end up in
the gooery rings ringing Looney Tunes
what would you say to want the
organism’s striving or attempted to have
some peace in your life peaceful
organism I maintained that the body does
not want to know anything she does not
want to learn anything so whatever you
are interested in he is not in helping
this living organism but trying to
resolve the problems created by that
mechanism that is put in there by our
cultural society do you have any focus
or purpose in your teaching or your
dialogue now we happen to be here and
you are interviewing me and my interest
is to focus spotlight but all that you
are doing to free yourself from she’s
the one that is keeping you there you
any moment you were taught to flay
yourself from something that does not
exist there I can say that there is
nothing there to be free from so it hit
me like a lightning that’s the only word
that I can use that there is nothing
there to be free from it doesn’t matter what you want to be free
