The greatness of Janaka was that he was not asking question; he was expressing. Many times, we go on asking questions and we don't listen or hear to the answers. We don't digest what is happening, coming to us, i.e. the very presence, the very look, the very being, the very words. They are not empty words and empty looks. It's not an empty presence. Everything is coming on with such a force and so much wealth awakening something deep inside you. It is kindling a light inside you. New seeds are being sown and something is sprouting inside. And instead of observing, absorbing, and living that you go on asking questions. Then you remain just at the surface.
Many times, when people tell me they have a question to ask, I ask them if they still have a question. They say nothing. I speak as though they don't have questions, so they don't have questions. And in a few minutes all those things they wanted to ask, drop away. There is nothing in asking! What are you asking? What questions do you ask? I answer for some time,maybe for two or three years. And you go on asking questions, 'Why this? Why that?' Relax. Have the confidence that you are being taken care of. Wherever you are, you are being taken care of. Whatever you are doing, you are being taken care of. You don't even have to ask for a blessing. Otherwise, you will be asking for blessings to go shopping! All are blessed! I have given blank cheques for blessings. Use them for whatever you want! Keep your mind free. Know that you are being taken care of. Then where do the questions arise. Finish your questions. I am no longer encouraging them. Otherwise, there is no end to it. You ask questions about small little insignificant things. 'Why this?', 'Why thay?' I say drop all that. Relax.
Janaka gives an expression to the experiences that are so beautiful. No doubt, he started with a question but he caught up with whatever Ashtavakra was saying.
Do you know what happens often? People ask questions but they don't listen to the answer! They are ready with another question, a fourth, fifth, tenth, fifteenth question. And it goes on and on; hundred questions come, one after another. And if you put all their questions together, you will find the answer within the questions. Their answer is well within the question, because they are not ready to accept any other answer you give them. They want their answer to come through your mouth. It gives them more confidence. They will be happy that I have said the same thing.
