OSHO: Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System Is Your Enemy

OSHO: Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System Is Your Enemy (영어/한국어 자막 있음)

It is absolutely necessary that God should be dead. But I want you to know my understanding.

It was good of Friedrich Nietzsche to declare God dead. I declare that he has never been born.

It is a created fiction, an invention, not a discovery. Do you understand the difference between

invention and discovery? A discovery is about truth, an invention is manufactured by you. It is

man-manufactured fiction.

Certainly it has given consolation, but consolation is not the right thing! Consolation is opium. It

keeps you unaware of the reality, and life is flowing past you so quickly – seventy years will be gone

soon.

Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the

barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth. The very desire to find the truth disappears.

But in the beginning it is bitter if all your belief systems are taken away from you. The fear and anxiety

which you have been suppressing for millennia, which is there, very alive, will surface immediately.

No God can destroy it, only the search for truth and the experience of truth – not a belief – is capable

of healing all your wounds, of making you a whole being. And the whole person is the holy person

to me.
