One thinks as if non-technical questions can be answered.

There are technical questions such as how to run a computer, where to buy food, arithmetical questions, how to book a ticket and so on.

They all can be answered by somebody or you can find the answers somewhere. The information is available.

Now one is under the illusion that non-technical questions- what is all this existence, why I feel stressed, why I feel angry, why I feel fear, why the other is richer or poorer than me, why there is negativity( corruption, terrorism and so on) all around, why I feel constrictions to my freedom and so on can also be answered.

There are those in whom these questions do not arise. They are continuously adjusting themselves without raising these questions. The adjustment is essentially with the help of some idea.

Now there are those who are stuck up, who want to find answers to non-technical questions.

Some of them accept religious or scientific explanations. Religious explanations are like- it is God who is doing all this, it is all the result of one’s fate, some saviour will take care some day and so on. Some are satisfied with these answers. There are others who do not accept these answers but hope to find the answers some day in future. They may offer scientific or economic explanations.

These explanations satisfy them.

But if you have become so passionate about these questions, so serious about these questions that you want an answer ‘Now’. No explanation, religious or scientific is able to assuage the pain of these questions. You are bent upon.

Suddenly, you realize that there is no one to answer. You are Alone. From whom you are seeking answers?

Now you will touch the original pain, the original resistance, the original energy on which the Life is sustained.

The need for answers suddenly drops; you become one with Life as it is.

You touch the unending stream of Life.

The mystery of existence starts unfolding.
