Certainly, it is possible for you to live without God. However, an individual with God does not live, he hesitates at every point of living, he is just half-hearted.
He is making love and worried about hell. How can he love a woman when the Bible goes on saying that the woman is the gateway to hell? He is making love, and thinking about the sermon on Sunday: “The woman is the gateway to hell. What are you doing?” So neither can he love, nor can he live without love. God has made man very schizophrenic, half-hearted in everything.
You are earning money, and at the same time you know that your greed is a sin. If you don’t earn money, you starve. Your whole nature rebels against starvation, forces you to earn something to feed yourself. Nature pulls one way, God and his representatives pull you the other way. You are in a strange position.
In Hindi, we have a beautiful proverb, " DHOBI KA KUTTA - NA GHAR KA NA GHAT KA " . Here, donkeys are used by the washerman to carry clothes to the river, this donkey is accompanied by a dog all through the day. And then after the washing, he again puts the clothes on the donkey and takes them to different houses of his customers . So ."our life is just like the dog of a washerman.” He is never at the house nor even at the river, always in between, going from house to river, or river to house.
The washerman’s dog simply means schizophrenia. You are always half in every act, but because the whole humanity is schizophrenic, you don’t realise it. You love but you hate the same person you love. What has created this hate? It is because you love this woman, and this woman is the gateway to hell. You are bound to hate her too. You make friends in the evening, by the morning you become enemies. You go on moving away and you go on coming together. This goes on continuously — the washerman’s dog.
You are asking, “Is it possible for man to live without God?” It is not only possible to live totally WITHOUT GOD , but also to live fully.
Sigmund Freud’s statement is worth remembering. Because he worked his whole life on sex, he thought sex was the root of all problems. But he never understood that it is not sex that is the problem, it is the suppression of sex that is the problem. The priest is the problem, God is the problem, holy scriptures are the problem; sex is not the problem….
Sigmund Freud said: “Priests cannot destroy sex.” But they have succeeded in poisoning it. They could not succeed in destroying sex, otherwise there would have been no humanity…. So you are committing the sin, and you think the woman is the cause.
Reality is totally different; it is God. But as God is only fiction; he cannot do anything. The priest is the representative, the spokesman of God, who goes on creating all kinds of guilt feelings in you. Those guilt feelings don’t allow you to live. Everything is wrong, everything is a sin.
But this is only half the story. The fictitious God has to be replaced by an actual experience of truth , otherwise you will go insane and the truth is HUMANITY .
