why are you here? this is something I have been thinking about, I have often questioned why am I here and sometims I would let myself be crippled by this question, so the other day, when this question came up, I asked this question to the question, why are you here. Funny thing is, the question did not have much of an answer when it was being questioned.

Living in the now makes questions irrelevant. They become meaningless, no need to ask them. Why ask, just be at One and the need is no more.

thanking all for such kindness .is there any simpler way to understand? if we don't ask questions how are we to know.? i do realize that it will come when we are ready.and when we are ready we will stop asking questions. until then may we have patients and tolerance to pull us trough. answers come to those who ask. teachers will find you when you are ready to learn. peace- no more no less.

Hi CSR,

I don't say this will be true for everyone, but from my own experience I can just say the moment I stopped asking all the questions and just started to flow, the solutions/answers just appear. Some of them in the most extraordinary places/people/circumstances. I am still awe struck about how the answers/solutions just appear. Little miracles.

Same way you stop talking. Just stop asking. The problem is that it takes courage, that's all. We're cowards:

You WANT to know, you NEED to know, you DESIRE to know. You are insecure and therefore the need to ask questions and to get answers is constantly present.

I dare you to take the risk to not know anything! Stop being a coward, instead be courageous as you dare to know nothing and be nothing! Ultimately: Stop wanting to be anything. We want to be something because it gives us security, it gives us a point of reference for determing who we are. Hence we want to know things.

Start by stop wanting to know anything, stop wanting to be safely suited in knowledge, stop longing for security of any kind; instead just BE without asking, without the need to know anything whatsoever. Then the questions will stop.

Take away the need for an aswer and there is no question to be ask.

Hi Jennifer,

I agree with Bentinho, but would like to add the following. Questions arise from fear, become fearless, in other words overcome your fears and the questioning will stop and a natural flow of "just know" will kick in.

hi jennifer. you are so blessed. have you asked yourself this question.? why? to arrive at this juncture is like, wow. to ask questions are natural. to stop asking questions does not mean that you know all the answers. some times people just know because they are enlightened trough a certain understanding. ask questions but be mindful so that they may be constructive and they should aim at improving you and others. .we have for the longest time trough school and parents to ask otherwise how will we know. they were not wrong. that is how you learn when they teach you. now you start learning how to continue without the confusion. .steps may be taken to remove questions . but you have to recognize what kind of questions they are. the mind is a huge place. .taking yoga practices regularly from a patient teacher is one of the best possible ways. trough asanas and pranayama practices you will slowly align yourself to conquer more than questions. .may the humble soul behind this comment make obvious that only when we have reached a certain state of understanding and knowing that we stop asking. may all questions have positive vibrations. until then please forgive me my little experience if they be offensive.
