From our earliest childhood onwards we are being taught to believe, that knowing (the correct) answers to questions is one of the most important things in life. Also we are experiencing that it is impossible to always know the right answers to all questions we are being confronted with. At school we are being scolded and given bad marks for not knowing them. Hence everyone learns to be afraid of being unable to give right answers to questions, even though later in life this fear might not be immediately distinguishable. Possibly it is this fear that is keeping the majority of humanity to evade their spiritual calling. Because on the spiritual path you are heading directly into the unknown and unknowable. Moving from one question to the next and never stopping at any finite answer. The moment you settle down to the belief that you „know“ you stop growing towards God.
Imagine a flower seed thinking to itself: „ Oh, I know what sunlight looks like, I do not need to grow out of the earth."
Life is continually changing, therefore in questions of life there is no such thing as finite answers. Furthermore, there are always numerous possible „right“ answers - depending on one's current point of view. Unless, of course, it concerns a mathematical equation or a scholarly/purely intellectual question. If you wish to keep on growing and expanding your individual potential and enjoy your personal existence on this planet you have to keep on asking yourself questions and never be satisfied with any answer you find in yourself and especially not with those you are being given by others.
However, asking questions, moving into the unknown territory of your own self and life requires a certain amount of trust in life/love/yourself - and an open mind.
Then questions are stepping stones that guide you to new experiences. They can be doorways to a higher consciousness. Questions can be way-showers and they always leave you with an option(even though you might not be aware of it). They intensify your awareness. Whether you are asking yourself questions concerning your way of being or if you are being questioned by others is ultimately the same thing.
Some answers you find for yourself you outgrow quickly, others stay with you for a while before you start afresh moving into the unknown and towards a fresh answer. While there are might be some answers that you are being given by others that you have to grow into.
