If you have been asked, “What do you live for?” or “Why are you alive?” what will be your answer?
Anything that you will say cannot be the real answer, because that question is rooted in not knowing.
Existence is prior to knowledge. We don’t know existence, and existence—yes or no—knows itself. It means nothing to us.
But we do have the question, and a question that is fully asked without any intent to bring it to an end holds the key to the unknown. It is made of the unknown. It’s the same thing.
So you can make your step to that which is unknown within yourself, within your life—not in theory, not in imagination—by questioning: What are you here for? Why are you alive?
Life is asking this question. It asks the question through the confusion and the futility of life experience.
As long as you live within the scope of reasonable experience, as you may define it, the question will not be asked.
But at some point, it is very likely that the futility of the life that you live will be mirrored in consciousness as a question.
If you could see the opportunity in such a question at such a time, you will run to it or flow directly into the heart of it with one wish: to dissolve forever in the beauty of that question.
