Dissolve that questioner

(In response to a question: should we ask the Master questions or simply accept him?)

Just keep your doubts for some time and they will disappear! A man came and asked me so many questions about Vedanta, Liberation and God. I diverted him a little and started enquiring about his family, work etc. He spent almost 3 hours talking to me but never once did he go back to the questions he asked first. This is because his questions are not a quest; they are just casual time-passing questions.

Asking for the sake of asking is not questioning. People ask questions and when I answer, they forget that it is for their question! Just accept there is a Master, and the questions will disappear. I am answering these questions so that they will create more questions and you will understand that questions can never be solved, only the questioner can be dissolved! It is a process towards dissolving the questioner. The question and the questioner are different. The moment you ask the question that YOU have, you become enlightened. Now, you ask the question that you don't have, because the question and the questioner are two different things. All your questions are lies. The moment you ask what YOU want to ask, you become enlightened, liberated...!
