According to Osho, we ask foolish questions because the questioning mind is confused; all questions are foolish and all answers turn into lies within that confusion. Yet questioning can unburden us: through asking and a Master’s playful replies, we eventually see its futility, let questioning drop, and discover the silent answer within—our own being.
We ask silly questions because we’re confused, and by asking enough we learn that silence inside us—not more answers—is the real answer.
