How can the answer ask questions if the seeker is the sought?

definition
"The seeker is not separate from the answer; it is merely a seed waiting for the right conditions to awaken into its true potential."
According to Osho, the seeker is already the answer, but dormant—like a seed. Because it is only potential, it naturally generates questions, which are the answer’s own movement toward awakening. With the right soil (life), a master gardener (guide), and your cooperation—willingness to ‘die’ as a seed—the latent answer sprouts into realization. Hence, no contradiction: the answer asks until it becomes itself.
You already have the truth like a sleeping seed; your questions are how it tries to wake up and grow with help and trust.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety by seeing questions as growth signals, not deficits.
- Encourages seeking supportive environments and wise guidance.
- Invites surrender of old identities so realization can unfold.
