At the end of it I told him, "Ayyah, you asked me a question as soon as you came in. I did not answer it because it was not a question from deep inside you."

If the question arises from deep inside us, we will never forget it or rest until we are satisfied with the answer. Some people ask questions, give the answer themselves and then ask me for an answer! They are merely looking to collect supporting words from me, that all.

We give more importance to the words than the Truth. This is how we miss the Master; this is how we miss the understanding behind the Master"s words.
