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.
