It is only the individual that can find out if there is or if there is not what you call God, not a collective mind. The collective mind can only repeat the word, but the word 'God' is not God. The collective mind can read the Gita, quote the Upanishads and all the religious authorities, but such a mind can never, do what it will, ever find out what is true. Only the mind that has broken through tradition, shattered the values imposed upon it by society, broken away from the past - only such a mind can find out.
