~~ GOD IS DEAD~~11..

There are religions which think that god has one thousand hands. One thousand hands? They must be growing all over the body just like branches in a tree.
And I don’t think he can manage to do anything. One thousand hands? From the back they will be
growing backwards, from the front they will be growing... there will be no space left for anything else!
And there are gods which have one thousand eyes! I cannot conceive it. Even with no-mind I cannot
conceive it. One thousand eyes in one head? Then there is no possibility for ears, no possibility
for the nose, no possibility for the mouth, no possibility for anything – not even hair. He must be
bald-headed, with eyes all over the head. Even then I don’t think he can manage one thousand
eyes. How will he move? According to which eye will he see? Even if he winks at a woman, which
eye? One thousand eyes winking at one woman! That will be real romance!
God has not solved any problem, God has created thousands of problems. And every religion has
its own idea, because it is a fiction. You don’t have different ideas about the sun. You don’t have
different ideas about the rose. You can have only different ideas about a fiction. It is then up to you,
whichever way you want.
The Bible says God created man in his own image. The reality is just the opposite: man has created
God in his own image. And he has been trying to refine the image of God, finding explanations for
all kinds of absurdities. He needs one thousand hands because he has to care for five billion people.
But if you have to care about five billion people, you need five billion hands. One thousand hands
won’t do. At least, if you want even to shake hands with the whole of humanity, you will need five
billion hands. Just hands and hands and nothing else! And you go on shaking and nobody is there!
They go on finding explanations: he has one thousand eyes because he has to look after the whole
universe. Can’t he move his head, just the way I am moving mine? I can see ten thousand people
without any difficulty, just with two eyes. Does he not move backwards and go in reverse? He has
eyes all over his head, so when he wants to go backwards, the front eyes are closed, the backward
eyes are open. When he wants to go sideways, three sides are closed, the right side is open. Is it a
god or some kind of toy to entertain children?
The very idea of God is because our mind cannot comprehend eternity. Once you rise beyond your
limited mind to an unlimited no-mind, you can conceive all that was inconceivable before. No God is needed.
