Osho Rajneesh: There Are No Devils Youtube Video

I remember an old anecdote. Once, there was a man who was very poor. He was so poor that he could do anything to earn his two meals. Once, he went to a landlord in search of a work. Landlord replied him that I can give you work that can earn you two meals a day but you will have to call me God every time you see me and when you call me God, it should appear like you really mean it. You cannot talk about this deal with anybody and it should not look like a forceful order. The poor man had no choice at all. He had to do something for his survival. So, he signed this deal. Then, the years passed and the children of the poor man grew up. They naturally grew up with the ready made God available. They could not see any other God around them as they had already acquired a God in inheritance.



Our Gods are also ready made in a similar way. The story told above is not so important because it can change slightly or significantly. The thing which is important is acquiring your Gods from somebody else. The same thing is happening in our lives. Children are acquiring their Gods from their parents. Parents do not know about any God at all because they have learnt it from their parents and the cycle has been going on like that. These Gods have created such a conditioning in our mind that is not easy to break.

People keep talking about these Gods just to console themselves. It is like taking psychological advantage from the society full of anger, hate and jealousy where we are continuously losing ourselves. So, we like giving false pills to our children in the hope of getting abundant happiness, power and satisfaction.

Osho Rajneesh is talking about such God which does not exist. Such a God is superficial. People find some kind of amusement in the stories where God beats a devil in a war. Osho Rajneesh says that such a God does not exist then it is sure that such a devil does not exist either. According to Osho Rajneesh, a person can just be asleep or awakened. If, he is asleep then his life will remain full of misery and problems. A person full of such problems will run towards false hopes. Only an awakened person can enjoy his life to full extent.

I had a talk with my cousin a few days back. I like to enter in such a discussion. He was saying that what is wrong in going to a place like temple, Gurudwara, mosque or church. If, he feels some kind of distraction or satisfaction visiting there then what is wrong with that. I had to agree with him to some extent because he used the word distraction. Definitely one gets some kind of psychological advantage too. My reply was " we go to doctors and doctors like giving us false medicines sometimes for those diseases which are our own creation. Sometimes, it is not important which medicine is being given but it is more important that medicine is being given. In such situations a person who is taking a sugar pill thinking that it is a medicine, will also get rid of his sickness in the same time. In case of a doctor, we do not like taking pills at all but we think of getting rid of a disease completely. Visiting any kind of temple is also like taking a sugar pill for a disease that are actually not present but we do not want to get rid of that false disease. So, we keep taking those pills. This so called good society has created disease of fear with in a human mind that people love taking such pills. My approach is to get rid of the disease but if anybody loves to take pills then I do not force such a person".

Superficial Gods are like toys as Osho said in the above video. Osho said that Children can play with them but a man having his own wisdom discards them completely. Children like to play with some toys but mature people do not like to do it. A man with his own wisdom can see his God at each nook and corner of the world.
