Some people have tampered with the scriptures, I am sure
about it. And I have tried to bring all nonsensical ideas to people, who,
somehow give up all their intelligence, all their logic and believe it.
So when an intelligent man looks at all these things, he
becomes an atheist. Even by becoming atheist, one has to know why are you here,
what is the purpose of your life, why are you here. What is the goal of your
life? Is it just to waste your time or to be here for a short time and finish
off, to insure yourself and then die? The worst thing that has happened to
human beings, I think is that materialism has taken over. By materialism, we
have really become very gross, extremely superficial. And not bothered at all
about spiritual life. Those people who did bother, whom I call as seekers,
people of special category - were caught up by false gurus and lots of false
things. Because, they realized there is a market of such people and such people
must be somehow or other captured and used for their own purposes. Only purpose
is making money - its marketing.
