If you can joyfully, consciously, stay in “I do not know,” knowing is not far away. You will see that your intelligence will find a way to know as much as you can. It is in the very nature of human intelligence that you cannot live with “I do not know.” The longing to know and seeking to know will be continuously on within you. Why is it that you cannot at least be straight that, “What I know, I know what I do not know, I do not know”? Whatever we do not know, we want to make it up because we have not realized the tremendous nature of “I do not know.” If you can joyfully, consciously, stay in “I do not know,” knowing is not far away. But if you believe it, will it become real? If you disbelieve it, will it become real? Both ways you do not get to truth. If you do not like the story, you will disbelieve it. If you like the story, you will believe it. I am calling it a story because if I speak anything that is not yet in your experience, as far as you are concerned, it is a story. But if you ask me, “What is the meaning of life” when you yourself are life, then we have to tell you a story. Why the hell should you ask me about life? If you want to ask me what the weather in India is, we can discuss it, it is a relevant conversation. That is why you ask me, “What is life?” I am reminding you that you are life. But today, your thought has become bigger than everything else. You are a life that carries that software, not a product of that software. Depending on what kind of data you have taken in, that is the kind of thoughts you have. Somehow, we started celebrating thought more than life, to such a point that someone dared to say, “I think, so I exist.” Europe made this big mistake which the entire world has taken up. But your psychological drama has become bigger than the life process. The most fundamental thing is that you are life. What you wear, what you speak, what you are associated with, everything means something only because you are alive. Only because you are alive, your job, your car, your home, your relationships mean something. Only because you are a life and you are alive right now, all these accessories mean something. “What is life?” I am reminding you that you are life.
