Product Description

THE BIBLE says, ”In the beginning was the word.” Now this can be said only by somebody who is
absolutely ignorant, because the word means a sound with a meaning. These sounds made by the
words are just sounds; you cannot call them words. The moment you say, ”In the beginning was the
word,” unknowingly you have accepted that there is someone who gives meaning to it, but then the
word is not in the beginning.
In the beginning is one who gives meaning to the word. And THE BIBLE says, ”God was with the
word.” Anyone who wrote it must have felt uneasy that the world should begin only with a word.
Immediately he needed someone to give meaning to it; hence the second statement that God was
with the word.
If you look into things very impartially, deeply, you will be amazed how much they can reveal. Then
he must have become aware to ask, ”Who is first? God or the word?”
The third sentence then tries to make a compromise. It says, ”God and the word were one.” Nobody
in the whole Eastern search will agree with it. The East has not experienced the beginning because
naturally you cannot see the beginning: you are already there, the beginning has happened. In your
being you have preceded the beginning, so there is no possibility of any witness of the beginning.
But there is a possibility to be a witness of the end.
