"The gods of the past are dead, and they cannot be revived again. They have become irrelevant to human consciousness; they were created by a very immature mind. Man has come of age. He needs..."

Osho continues:
"Mind is always afraid to move into the unknown. The unknown on the one hand challenges, attracts, on the other hand creates fear. It is unpredictable, one cannot know what will be the outcome beforehand. And mind is always orthodox, it is conventional. Mind is a convention, mind is traditional, mind is tradition. So the problem is always there: mind clings with the past and life wants to go into the future, and there is a constant tug-of-war between mind and life. Those who choose mind remain dead. Those who choose life against mind are the salt of the earth.

"It is not only that the gods of the yesterdays are dead, the very concept of a personal God has no meaning anymore. In the future there will not be gods, there will not even be one God, there can only be godliness. Try to understand it. God cannot have a form in the future, and if you insist on the form there will be no religion. Only a formlessness can be conceived – a quality, not a person; an energy, not a being. Not God but godliness. Not any particular religion – Christianity, Hinduism, Islam – but only religiousness.

"Those who can see this can have a great transformation in their lives. Those who can see the point that God has to be dropped in favor of godliness and religions have to disappear in favor of religiousness, they are the people of the future. And I am talking only to those people who belong to the future. I am not interested in the dead, I am not interested in the graveyards. And the graveyards can be beautiful…but that is not the point, they are still graveyards.

"Life is an adventure, an ongoing adventure, a continuous adventure into the unknown. That's where logic and life part ways. Logic remains with the old. Logic cannot have any leap, it doesn't allow any quantum leap – by its very nature it cannot allow it. It has to move step by step, it has to follow the premises. The conclusion is nothing but something that was contained in the premises and has become manifest; it is nothing new."
