OSHO,
CHAPTER 10
God – the nobody everybody knows
GOD DID NOT CREATE PEOPLE LIKE ADOLF HITLER IN HIS OWN IMAGE. HE CREATED
PEOPLE LIKE JESUS CHRIST, HAZRAT MOHAMMED, KRISHNA AND BUDDHA.
IT is not a question. It is a statement, an answer, but I have not asked the question. The person
seems even to know whom God created in His own image and whom God did not create in His own
image. The person seems to be an eyewitness. What was he doing there? Did God create him in
His own image? Then what is he doing here? But I can enjoy even answering an answer.
He says God did not create people like Adolf Hitler in His own image. What is wrong in Adolf Hitler?
The followers of Adolf Hitler believe that he was the reincarnation of the great Jewish prophet,
Elijah. It is as true as the Christian’s belief that Jesus is the only begotten son of God, and the
Mohammedan’s belief that Mohammed is the only messenger of God. Nobody else believes it, but
that is not the point. Christians believe, the followers of Adolf Hitler also believe.
And Adolf Hitler was a very religious man. Let me give you a little glimpse of Adolf Hitler’s life. He
lived like a monk, in an underground cell. He was not interested in so-called worldly things that
everybody is interested in. He was a vegetarian, he never ate any non-vegetarian food in his whole
life. He remained unmarried almost his whole life – except for three hours, the last three hours. That
is almost a whole life; what do three hours count? And what is possible in three hours of marriage?
