Love the Questions
". . . Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and
try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms
or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the
answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not
be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the
questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will
gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
I beg you to stop . . . looking outside. No one can advise you or
help you – no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into
yourself . . . into the very depths of your heart. Dig into yourself
for a deep answer. . . Be attentive to what is arising within you,
and place that above everything you perceive around you. What is
happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love."
