To: Danny Mottley, Jr Life is synonymous with God. God is not the creator of life, but life itself; he is not separate from life. The very idea of the creator is false. He is not like a painter, because the painter becomes separate from the painting. He is more like a dancer: he remains one with it. Hence to worship God, one need not go to a temple, to a mosque, to a synagogue. Life is more than is needed. This whole earth, this whole existence, is full of God, over-flooded with God. He is the green and the red and the gold of the trees. He is all over the place; you cannot avoid him. We collide with him every moment. It is just because we have some idea of God we go on missing him. We have some idea that he is somewhere far away in heaven: hence we go on missing him. Drop that stupid idea and you will find him everywhere. He is very close by. Once Ramakrishna was asked, Where is God? And he said You tell me where he is not. I have been searching for the place where he is not and I have failed: I have not yet found a place where he is not. Osho
