"The very assumption that life is a question leads you into more and more intellectual efforts, and in search of an answer you decide upon theories.

"Religion says that to take life as a question is basically false. It is not a question – it is there, with no question mark. It is there as an open secret; it is an invitation. You have to become a guest, you have to move into it. It is ready and welcoming – don't fight with it! It is not a question, don't try to solve it! It is not a riddle. Come and become one with it, and you will know it. The knowing will come from your totality, not from the intellect. Intellect is a partial effort, and life needs you to be totally with it, to flow with it, so one with it that you cannot feel what is what, you cannot feel where you end and where life begins. The whole of life becomes you, the whole of you becomes life. This is what salvation is. It is not a solution, it is a salvation.

"This is what Hindus have called moksha: it is not a theory, a conclusion, it is a totally different way to live with existence. It is not head-oriented. Really, you become headless, you lose all distinctions; the periphery dissolves – you are just like a drop in the ocean. You lose your boundaries and you gain the cosmic boundaries which are infinite.

"The first thing to understand is not to take life as a question. Once you take it as a question you will be in trouble; you will have already moved on a wrong path – it will be a cul-de-sac. Somewhere, in some theory, you will be stuck. Everybody is stuck somewhere in a theory, and then it is very difficult to drop the theory. You cling to it because the question scares you. At least a theory is some consolation, at least you feel that you know. You don't know! Mind cannot know, mind can only theorize. It can go on spinning words faster and faster; it can play with words, arrange them, but they are all interpretations – not the real, just your interpretation of it."
