OSHO 2

 You ask me: if God is not a hypothesis, if God is not an idea, then what is God?

It is not a hypothesis because there is no way for science to discover God. Science does not move inwards, it moves outwards, and there you will find the world of things. If you want to know consciousness, that center is within. So God is not a hypothesis. God is not an idea because an idea is a philosophical concept, and philosophers only go on weaving thoughts, ideas, rationalizations — and they create great systems of thought….If you look into their systems of thought you will be immensely impressed. For example, Hegel or Kant… if you are not alert, you will be surprised at what a palatial system they have made — but there is no base. And it is not a palatial building either; if you come closer you will find it is made of playing cards. A little breeze and the whole palace falls down, because there is no base to it.
