Buddha does not teach you otherworldliness. This has to be understood. People are
worldly; the priests go on teaching the other world. The other world is also not very
otherworldly, it cannot be, because it is just an improved model of the same world. From
where can you create the other world? You know only this world. You can improve, you
can decorate the other world better, you can remove a few things that are ugly here and
you can replace a few things which you think will be beautiful, but it is going to be a
creation out of the experience of this world. So your other world is not very different,
cannot be. It is a continuity. It comes out of your mind; it is a game of imagination.
