Transcript

00:00Why do you think all the gods and goddesses all around the world irrespective of the religion

00:04or culture or country or century.

00:07Why do all the gods and goddesses have hands?

00:09Please tell me.

00:10Why don't they have antennas like cockroaches?

00:13Because we have hands.

00:14Since we have hands, our gods have hands.

00:16Why do our gods speak our own language?

00:19Does an Indian God speak French ever?

00:21But we don't exercise any bit of intelligence.

00:24We don't ask why are our gods necessarily speaking our language?

00:27Why are Greek gods not found in India?

00:29Why were Indian gods not worshipped in Greece?

00:32Why do gods keep changing?

00:34Now do animals have human thought and intention?

00:38No.

00:39But even if you worship an animal god, it will be almost human.

00:42So that again proves what we are worshipping.

00:44We are just worshipping our own form.

00:46They all emerge from man's mind.

00:48They are our own projection.

00:49They are all coming from here.

00:51And it's so stupid to worship your own mind, your own imagination.

00:55I have to worship the truth, satya.

00:58Not my own kalpana.
