SEKITO SAID, "I DON'T COME FROM SOKEI."<br />

SEIGEN RESPONDED, "ALL RIGHT -- NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU COME FROM."<br />

SEKITO SAID, "<strong>OSHO</strong>, YOU ARE A GREAT ONE -- DO NOT WASTE TIME."<br />

Friends, a new series of talks begins today: GOD IS DEAD, NOW ZEN IS THE ONLY LIVING TRUTH.<br />

<strong>The</strong> series is dedicated to Friedrich Nietzsche, who was the first man in the history of mankind<br />

to declare, "<strong>God</strong> is dead, therefore man is free."<br />

It was a tremendous statement; its implications are many. First I would like to discuss<br />

Nietzsche's statement.<br />

All the religions believe that <strong>God</strong> created the world and also mankind. But if you are created by<br />

someone, you are only a puppet, you don't have your own soul. And if you are created by<br />

somebody, he can uncreate you any moment. He neither asked you whether you wanted to be<br />

created, nor is he going to ask you, "Do you want to be uncreated"<br />

<strong>God</strong> is the greatest dictator, if you accept the fiction that he created the world and also created<br />

mankind. If <strong>God</strong> is a reality, then man is a slave, a puppet. All the strings are in his hands, even<br />

your life. <strong>The</strong>n there is no question of any enlightenment. <strong>The</strong>n there is no question of there<br />

being any Gautam the Buddha, because there is no freedom at all. He pulls the strings, you<br />

dance; he pulls the strings, you cry; he pulls the strings, you start murders, suicide, war. You are<br />

just a puppet and he is the puppeteer.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n there is no question of sin or virtue, no question of sinners and saints. Nothing is good and<br />

nothing is bad, because you are only a puppet. A puppet cannot be responsible for its actions.<br />

Responsibility belongs to someone who has the freedom to act. Either <strong>God</strong> can exist or freedom,<br />

both cannot exist together. That is the basic implication of Friedrich Nietzsche's statement: <strong>God</strong><br />

is dead, therefore man is free.<br />

No theologian, no founder of religions thought about this, that if you accept <strong>God</strong> as the creator,<br />

you are destroying the whole dignity of consciousness, of freedom, of love. You are taking all<br />

responsibility from man, and you are taking all his freedom away. You are reducing the whole of<br />

existence to just the whim of a strange fellow called <strong>God</strong>.
