Norėdamas išsiaiškinti, ar Dievas yra, ar jo nėra, turi nušluoti į šalį visą informaciją, kurią esi gavęs apie Dievą. Žmonės, kurie tau suteikė tą informaciją, galėjo klysti; todėl turi išsiaiškinti pats.
O kad galėtum išsiaiškinti pats, turi atsikratyti visų autoritetų ir suprasti visą autoriteto struktūrą bei prigimtį – ar tai būtų policijos autoritetas, valdžios autoritetas, guru autoritetas, ar tavo paties troškimų autoritetas. Visi jie turi savo vaidmenį.
Nesupratus viso to, vien tik ieškoti to, ką vadini Dievu, neturi jokios prasmės.
Dievas, jei toks yra, yra kažkas nepaprasto, ko negalima įsivaizduoti per tikėjimą ar įsitikinimus.
Tai turi atrasti pats.
Aš nesakau, ar Dievas yra, ar jo nėra.
Norėdamas tai išsiaiškinti, pirmiausia turi būti laisvas.
Londonas egzistuoja; tai faktas, fizinis faktas, kurį galima patikrinti ir ištirti, kaip kažką, ką galima pamatyti per mikroskopą.
Tu tiki Dievu todėl, kad buvai taip išauklėtas ir užaugintas tame tikėjime.

To find if there is God or if there is no God, you must wipe away all the information you have received about God. The people who have given you information might be mistaken; you will have to find out for yourself. And to find out for yourself, you must get rid of all authority, understand the whole structure and anatomy of authority, whether the authority of the police, the authority of the government, the authority of the guru, or the authority of your own desires; they all play a part. Without understanding all this, merely to seek what you call God has no meaning at all. God is something amazing, not to be imagined by some kind of belief. You have to find out. I do not say if there is or there is not. To find out, you must be free first. There is London; it is a fact, a physical fact, like that which can be examined by a microscope. You believe in God because you have been brought up in that belief.

#Day192 of #365HappyDays : I picked The Boy up this morning, brought him home, and he immediately went into the living room, over to his #bookshelf, and then clambered onto this chair and I took this #photo.
I love that he loves #books. I hope he never ever grows out of it.
