There Is No Creator

You are enjoying yourself. Let me come to some of your quotes that are in the press, the one where you say there is no God – or at least that is what the main headlines titled: "There is no God." Could you elaborate on that? Are you saying that by itself there is no God outside of creation?

Certainly, I am saying that there is no creator. Creation itself is sufficient unto itself; it does not need any external agency to create it. The moment you accept an external agency to create it, you fall into a vicious circle. Because the reasoning is, how can it exist without someone having created it? This is the reasoning of all religions. If you accept their reasoning, the question arises: Who created God? And if God can be there without being created, then what is the problem? Then, existence can be there without being created. You primarily accept that something can be there without being created. Then, why go unnecessarily from A to B, from B to C? And all are hypotheses. God A creates God B. God B creates God C, unnecessarily. All theology is simply nonsense. It starts with God; "theo" means God, and "logia" means logic about God. This is a contradiction in terms.

So, creation itself is God... we are God, you are God, I am God, everyone here is God... .... the whole play is God.... or a source. Yes, if you want to use the word God. There is no problem for me... I am very familiar with it. But you will have to change the meaning, because the donkey will be God, even the Yankees will be God. Better drop this word because this word is dangerous. Sometimes, when you ride a donkey, you are riding a God. Sometimes you are...

I suppose the force that gives us life or whatever, the energy... I would like to call it pure consciousness. Just consciousness. Or if you are too attached to the word God, then call it Devotion. But do not make it a noun. Let it be a quality. Devotion is perfectly fine.

Why do you say: "Let it be a quality rather than a noun?"

Because the moment you make it a noun, you kill it. The moment you make it a noun, you stop its growth. Nouns do not grow, only verbs grow.
