A Question of Life and Death
Osho,
This morning, as you spoke of the
"questionless answer,"
I watched my questions dissolving into silence,
which I shared for a moment with you.
But one question survived, and that is:
If we don't ask you questions,
how are we going to play with you?
That's really a question!
It will be difficult,
so whether you have the questions or not, still you can go on asking just the same.
Your question need not be yours,
but it must be somebody else's, somewhere.
And my answer may help somebody somewhere, sometime.
So let us
continue the game.
I cannot say anything on my own.
Unless there is a question,
I am silent.
Because of the question
it is possible for me to respond.
So it does not matter whether the question is yours;
what matters is
that the question
is bound to be
somebody's somewhere.
And I am not only answering you.
I am answering, through you,
the whole of humanity...
not only the contemporary humanity,
but
also the humanity that will be coming
when I will not be here to answer.
So find out all the possible angles
and questions,
so that anybody, even in the future when I am not here,
who has a question
can find an answer in my words.
To us
it is a play.
To somebody
it may become
really
a question of life and death.
