Questioning the question quietens the questioner.

Again, I agree.

I would say, though, that any puzzle is probably of our own making. Nothing needs to be looked for; nothing needs to be found. This is what it means, "search and ye shall find", because a search is always made within the found already. Curiosity not only kills the cat; it buries it too.

@innertalks Thanks, siva. It is ok to be curious, though. We can ask our questions to God. The questioner raises God's eyebrows to search his own soul, as each question put to God, he answers from the deepest truth, not with a glib general response.

Yes, we have been told by many to seek, and what we seek for will be found, to ask questions, to find answers, but is this ever really entirely necessary, at all? Should we seek, though, or should we more be guided, open always to the whims of where love is taking us to, without questioning its knowingness, about where it is going, or taking us to? But sure, a question is like the donkey's carrot, and satisfies the outer mind, if answered, until it gets hungry for another carrot. Our heart never needs such carrots, but burns from the love in it alone, sufficient to its perfect living, as itself, in its truth, in that love.

@innertalks i believe the heart needs more carrots because it must burn all the time. I believe that is why we seek love, seek understanding.

@DocAndersen l see love working differently than that. Love is not the attractor that needs to be attracted to. Love lives alone in you, until you befriend it yourself. Sure, share a carrot with love, but do not expect that it can be stirred up by anything but itself. We also need no carrots to love; if we feel love fully, it energizes itself within us, without fuel, as it is fuel.

The questions can bore deep into the rock, though, until there is no rock left...lol... Boredom draws on itself to become more boring; it is circular. Questions do the same thing, leading to one question, after the other. What is the final answer, the final question? Love gives no answers, but is felt by all who want to feel it; let love in, and question it not, is perhaps the answer to the unheard question of love. What is the unheard question of love? Are you with me, or not? What is the unheard answer of Life? Boring questions bring boring answers!

@innertalks The unheard answer of life? I've heard many. Right now one of my favorite quotations comes from Ramana Maharshi. Q: So how are we to treat others? A:There are no others.

@TheHorse Q: How are we to treat our self then? A: There is no self! I was being a bit tongue in cheek, cheekily so, there above...lol... (re: the unheard answer of life. Who has ever heard the real answer, or all of the answers yet, though, no one, I expect)

My Uncle also used to say to, "doubt the doubt". When you question the question, you realise, or not, if the question that you were asking is the right one, or not. If you ask the wrong question about something, how can it ever lead you to the right answer? Asking the right question, is halfway to getting the right answer too. Asking the wrong question just leads you further away, sometimes, from the right answer.

@Nakitakona Yes, that is what I meant, so that we are clear about what is really being asked, or asked for, in the question.

@innertalks questioning the question is clarifying it so that the right answer may be given.

Yes, the right question can often hook us into the right answer, like we can end up with the right fish, if we give it the right bait....lol...

Yes, it takes reading it twice, because, at first reading, it just mightn't sound right. Sometimes, a question gets hold of us and almost controls us, as we follow it around for days. Sometimes, questioning what we are doing in anything, helps us to rebalance and refocus, in a better position.

Yes, the question, or the question mark, hides the face of the answer, or answerer.
