Releasing Answers

Your greatest achievement is not finding the answer, but finding and living peacefully with the question---the answer will change (if you are living, growing), but the question will not.---cgw



Answers can diminish our power, unless we are willing to let them go in the proper time. Perhaps an answer is a Zen Koan, something quite contradictory between definition and reality. Rather than answer being a conclusion to the question, the answer can provide us the conclusion to being stuck--a platform from which to spring higher. In finding an answer, we may rightly realize that we are no closer to being satisfied (having confused what is nourishing and what is utensil).


Tao Te Ching, Verse 48
The student learns by daily increment.
The Way is gained by daily loss,
Loss upon loss,
At last becomes rest.
