Tidak perlu membicarakan “Tuhan ini, itu, dan lainnya,” karena semakin banyak bicara, maka kita akan semakin jauh dari Tuhan. Jadi, apa pun yang dapat Anda pahami itu baik, tetapi simpanlah bagi diri sendiri karena mungkin esok Anda akan memahami secara berbeda. Jadi, temukanlah untuk diri sendiri dan nikmatilah. Tidak ada definisi tentang Tuhan, dan tidak ada apa pun yang harus kita katakan tentang Tuhan. Saya tidak tahu apakah ada orang yang dapat menjelaskan tentang Tuhan, bahkan dalam dimensi yang lebih tinggi. Mengapa kita harus peduli akan si Tua itu? Kita baik-baik saja! (Hadirin tertawa) Apakah Dia ada atau tidak, siapa yang peduli? Kita datang kemari, mendapat makanan berkah, tidur, serta mengadakan pertunjukan sekali-sekali. Kita baik-baik saja, bukan? Dan karena Tuhan ada di mana-mana, maka siapa peduli di mana kita meninggal, kapan kita meninggal, ke mana kita pergi atau apa yang kita lakukan? Apakah ikan mencemaskan bahwa dia jungkir balik ke luar dari lautan di suatu tempat?
