So when I say there is no <strong>God</strong>, I am not agreeing with Marx or Epicurus. I am certainly not<br />

agreeing with Jesus, Krishna, Moses, Mohammed, when they say there is <strong>God</strong>, because they use<br />

<strong>God</strong> as a person. Now, to think of <strong>God</strong> as a person is just your imagination. <strong>The</strong> <strong>God</strong> of the<br />

Chinese has a Chinese face, and the <strong>God</strong> of the Negroes has a Negro face, and certainly the <strong>God</strong><br />

of the Jews must have a Jewish nose; it can't be otherwise. And if horses think about <strong>God</strong>, their<br />

<strong>God</strong> will be a horse. So this is just projection. Giving personality to <strong>God</strong> is your projection.<br />

When I say there is no <strong>God</strong>, I am denying personality to <strong>God</strong>. I am saying <strong>God</strong> is not, but there is<br />

tremendous godliness. That is an impersonal energy, pure energy. To impose any form on it is<br />

ugly. You are imposing yourself on it.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Christian god will disappear the moment Christianity disappears, the Hindu gods will<br />

disappear the moment Hinduism disappears. Do you see what I mean to say It is your<br />

projection. If you go on projecting it, it is there. If you are not there to project it, if the projector<br />

is not there, the god disappears. I am not in favor of such gods, which have been projected by<br />

the tiny mind of man. And of course the tiny mind of man is bound to give qualities to <strong>God</strong><br />

which are its qualities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> god in the Talmud says, "I am an angry <strong>God</strong>. I am not nice; I am not your uncle." Now, this is<br />

perfectly meaningful in a Jewish context, but to a Hindu, <strong>God</strong> saying that, "I am an angry <strong>God</strong>" is<br />

a sheer impossibility. Anger and <strong>God</strong> -- they cannot meet. <strong>The</strong> Jewish god is perfectly angry; it<br />

is very Jewish, very human. And if you don't worship him, if you go against him, he will destroy<br />

you.<br />

This will not appeal to a Hindu, it is impossible. It will not appeal to the Mohammedan, because<br />

the Mohammedan prays every day, "<strong>God</strong>, the <strong>com</strong>passionate one...." Compassion is the very<br />

innermost quality projected by him towards <strong>God</strong>. Now, <strong>God</strong> can only be <strong>com</strong>passion, nothing<br />

else. <strong>The</strong> Mohammedan prays that just accepting your sin is enough, because <strong>God</strong> is<br />

<strong>com</strong>passionate. You will be forgiven.<br />

Omar Khayyam, one of the great poets of Persian literature, says, "Don't prevent me from<br />

drinking wine, enjoying women, because <strong>God</strong> is <strong>com</strong>passionate. Don't tell me that I am<br />

<strong>com</strong>mitting sin, let me <strong>com</strong>mit as many sins as possible. His <strong>com</strong>passion is far greater than all<br />

my sins <strong>com</strong>bined together. To stop a certain activity in fear that you will be punished by <strong>God</strong>, is<br />

to disbelieve in his <strong>com</strong>passion." Now, this is a different attitude -- but these are all human<br />

attitudes.<br />

So when I say there is no <strong>God</strong>, I am saying there is no person as <strong>God</strong>; all personality is human<br />

projection. I want you to take away the personality and let <strong>God</strong> be free, free from the bondage<br />

of personality that you have imposed upon him.<br />

I am not an atheist. To me, the whole universe is full of the energy of <strong>God</strong> and nothing else.
