But they have deceived millions. And they have prevented millions from going in search to find
the key to the mysteries of life. Philosophy has never transformed anyone. It gives people swollen
heads, but it does not bring a revolution in their life; no metamorphosis happens through it. It is the
greatest deception that man has been giving to himself and to others. It has given beautiful words
for people to play with. It has treated people like children; and those who have remained playing
with those words have remained children, retarded.
For example, the world of philosophy has given you their most famous word, god, which is perhaps
the most meaningless word in human language. It has not been a discovery for you, it has not been
your creation; on the contrary, the philosophers, the theologians, the priests have convinced you
that you are the creation of God.
This is the most significant point at which to begin a pilgrimage with Zarathustra. In the past God
has been accepted as the creator of all, but that very idea reduces man into a thing. Only things can
be created. If man is created by God, man has no pride, no dignity of his own – he is just a puppet.
Any moment God can change his mind and destroy humanity, and we stand absolutely helpless.
Neither have we any part in our creation, nor will we have any part in our destruction.
If this is true, life loses all meaning. It becomes a tragedy, an imprisonment, a long drawn-out slavery.
And Zarathustra is not alone in pointing out the fact that the concept of God is against the evolution
of man: Mahavira agrees with him; Gautam Buddha agrees with him.
