The Unquestionable Questions

Not everyone is as bold and uninterrupted as Hasmukhbhai, a character from Bollywood Movie - Judaai who slanders through his incessant supply of inconsequential questions. How many he gets answered? Perhaps not many…but he goes on. His curiosity even challenges the intellectual curiosity of a scientist who is on the way to benefit mankind.

There has been no perfect life that is devoid of questions. We as humans have an inherent curiosity and ask a lot of questions. Children as they grow up have their incessant barrage of questions that fills up their curiosity, quench their search for knowledge, and make them aware. As we grow up these questions do not leave our side, but as a part of society, we are silenced to ask questions. Most of the time it's our upbringing that makes us shy of asking questions, otherwise, we are refrained from asking questions as they do not make sense to others or are considered objectionable. Rendering us to keep quiet and figure out things ourselves.

But there are also circumstances where the above two scenarios do not apply and yet, we cannot ask questions. I am talking about the questions that feed our conscience. Questions which perhaps our fellow beings have no answers to, questions that dwell in the realm of a parallel world or questions that are your passport to a life no one has ever witnessed. I am referring to questions that go beyond society, physical boundaries, tangible benefits, and materialistic pleasures.

Like imagine a repetitive dream sequence, and it spikes your curiosity. Why does a certain person, place, or activity repeat in your dreams? When you wake up, did all you have is a trail of sequences that happened only in your mind, or perhaps in another universe?

I was attending a book review session where the trainer presenting the book said, "What you experience as dreams are activities happening in reality in another dimension, and the dreams of that dimension, are reality of this dimension." Seems unbelievable, but supposedly right. After all, who do you go to ask questions like these, or just muse on the authenticity of these dreams and their meaning?

Imagine you are manifesting things in your life, the way you want. But it's not everything that you aspire to that comes true. Then who do you go and ask, "If you can give me a car, why not the love of my life?" Think, who is responsible for affecting these activities in your life? Who can be claimed as executing these tasks? Do all wishes come true? And if not, Why? I am sure you will have a lot of unanswered questions and seeking answers, but time will test you before you get your answers and perhaps you might never get the answers open-eyed.

Imagine having intuitions that are turning true. It certainly freaks me sometimes, but perhaps if shared, it might be shaken off as a mere imagination. Two years back, I had a strong intuition that I am going to travel post-Diwali. Now Diwali means clients are on leave, so automatically I was not working too. And taking a vacation immediately post-Diwali was next to impossible due to work spillover. However, this strong intuition revelled in me that I am going to travel soon after Diwali. There was no planning, no tickets booked, no hotels booked and nothing on the cards for the next 6 months. And then, my husband came from his work tour during Diwali, and announced, "We are leaving for a holiday 5 days from now. Only you and me. I have made all the arrangements already." And that was a freaking moment for me, as my husband had given me no inkling of this surprise plan.

Do intuitions come true? I witnessed myself, they do. But why do intuitions happen? Why do they turn out true? What is the universe communicating? Why do all my intuitions don't come true? What makes this true intuition differ from the rest? Whom does one ask all this?

Imagine having experiences that are unrelatable- like your aura is attracting energies that can be experienced, and felt, but not seen. I have experienced certain such phenomena that bowled me not once, but a couple of times. It's strange not to see someone but witness certain activities. My quest was to understand more, to know what it is and if it is trying to harm me. Why do I experience such a phenomenon when my people might just shake it off as an imagination of a creative mind?

Where does one go to seek such answers which are beyond people's comprehension? There are many questions we can't ask as they might not be understood, or they might change the dynamics of relationships. What does one do in such circumstances? Sometimes the quest for an answer takes an entire life to fulfil, and yet sometimes a life seems incomplete.

In scenarios where you can't find answers outside, you have to look within, you have to search in your inner self to seek what you want. It is only by knowing yourself well that you will gain answers to all your questions. Sometimes cryptic, and sometimes like a blueprint, the answers will come to you. All you need is to submit to yourself, and resort to meditation.

A friend of mine got me introduced to the world of meditation a couple of years back, and after much apprehensions, delays, and unscheduled routines, I finally brought it as a regular practice. Today, meditation is my source of getting answers. It has silenced me and brought me answers to the questions that I could not ask for societal obligations, or were beyond human comprehension. It has made my intuition strong. It has rendered in me a power to empathise, and to let go of.?

I now seek my answers internally, before asking anyone, I ask myself, "Is this question even worth asking?"
