Are there any questions that are better left unasked?

“Curiosity is an essential quality in anyone who seeks truth. Intrigue, openness, questioning – all of these attitudes lend themselves to seeing through the veil and experiencing direct reality. But are there any questions that don’t exactly further the process of awakening? Yes. Here’s why:

We must look beyond the questions directly and ask ourselves: Why am I asking this question? Is it out of genuine interest? Or is it going to offer clarity or further confusion? These are important check-ins. Why? Because much of the time, we already have the answers. We already have the map, simple and pure, that does not need to be further complicated.

What is your stomach doing to your food right now?

This question may be interesting to pursue, but also may be a distraction, unnecessary, gross, etc. It may not be a question worth asking. There are many other such questions. However, this is deeply subjective, and ultimately, each of us knows which questions we should ask and which we may be better off leaving unasked.”
