Today we have to go into these questions that have been handed in.

First of all, if one may ask, from whom do you expect the answers? It is good to question, not only the speaker, but to question your friends, your wives, your husbands—to question, to doubt, to enquire, to be sceptical. When one puts a question, which is a challenge, by whom do you expect that challenge to be answered? Is it a challenge to oneself? Or are you challenging the speaker? There is a great deal of difference. When you are putting the question to yourself, then you are really probing into it, putting your teeth into it. If one is earnest and really deeply concerned, then the answers can only be found in the question. The answer is not separate from the question. So we are saying that in the very questioning is the answer. I hope we understand that.

We are going to enquire together into these questions, and in the enquiry we will find the answer. It is not the speaker who is going to answer. The question is far more important than the answer. Why do I put a question to myself, or to the world, or to my friend? If I put a question rather superficially, because my question is really not very important to me, the answer will inevitably be superficial. But if I put a question and try to find the nature of its content, what lies behind the question, then I am opening the question to deep enquiry. It is like digging a well, the deeper you dig, the more water. So we are together going into these questions—together.
