Osho continues:
"If truth was separate from you, things would have been very easy. If the truth was far away from you, you would have achieved it long ago; if truth was difficult, almost impossible, it would have challenged your ego. The ego cannot be challenged by something which is already the case: there is no question of any achievement. If truth was somewhere on Everest, then thousands of Edmund Hillarys would have started moving towards Everest. If truth was on the moon, millions would have been attracted.

"There is an ancient story…God made the world and in the beginning he used to live in the world, in the marketplace. But his life was becoming a nightmare – not a single moment of rest. People were standing the whole day and waking him in the night, they had so many complaints, so many things were wrong. They were bringing new suggestions as to how things should be changed, how things should be made – about each and everything.

"The torture became too much, and he inquired of his closest angels, 'What has to be done? These people will kill me. Somebody comes and says, 'Listen, tomorrow there should be no rain because I am going fishing' – and just after him a woman comes, 'I need absolutely that there should be rain tomorrow because I have sown the seeds today and if rain comes tomorrow they will settle in the soil.' Now, what I am supposed to do? And this is just one instance.'

"You can conceive the situation of poor God. He was so fed up with man that he never made anything after he had made man. It is not that his creativity was exhausted with man; he could have created many more things, but man was too much! He was repenting – why had he created man? Without man life was peace, silence, trees, animals and birds. They were all joyous, without any fear of death, without any religions, without any philosophies, without any theologies, without any wars. Things were utterly silent – but the moment he created man he committed his first and last mistake. So he asked, 'Now what to do?'

"Somebody suggested, 'Go to Everest.'

"He said, 'You don't know…I can see the future."
