The student Doko came to the master and said,
\n\u201cIn what state of mind should I seek the truth?\u201d
\nThe master replied, \u201cThere is no mind, so you cannot put it in any state, and there is no truth, so you cannot seek it.\u201d
\nDoko said, \u201cIf there is no mind and no truth, why do all these students gather before you every day to study?\u201d
\nThe master looked around and said, \u201cI don\u2019t see anyone.\u201d
\nThe inquirer asked, \u201cThen who are you teaching?\u201d
\n\u201cI have no tongue, so how can I teach?\u201d replied the master.
\nThen Doko said sadly, \u201cI cannot follow you; I cannot understand.\u201d
\nThe master said, \u201cI don\u2019t understand myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Life is such a mystery, no one can understand it, and one who claims that he understands it is simply ignorant. He is not aware of what he is saying, of what nonsense he is talking. If you are wise, this will be the first realization: life cannot be understood. Understanding is impossible. Only this much can be understood \u2013 that understanding is impossible. That is what this beautiful Zen anecdote says.<\/p>\n
The master says, \u201cI don\u2019t understand it myself.\u201d If you go and ask the enlightened ones this will be the answer. But if you go and ask the unenlightened ones they will give you many answers, they will propose many doctrines; they will try to solve the mystery which cannot be solved. It is not a riddle. A riddle can be solved, a mystery is unsolvable by its very nature \u2013 there is no way to solve it.<\/p>\n
Socrates said, \u201cWhen I was young, I thought I knew much. When I became old, ripe in wisdom, I came to understand that I know nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is reported of one of the Sufi masters, Junnaid, that he was working with a new young man. The young man was not aware of Junnaid\u2019s inner wisdom, and Junnaid lived such an ordinary life that it needed very penetrating eyes to realize that you were near a buddha. He worked like an ordinary laborer, and only those who had eyes would recognize him. To recognize Buddha is very easy \u2013 he is sitting under a bodhi tree, luminous; to recognize Junnaid is very difficult \u2013 he was working like a laborer, not sitting under a bodhi tree. He was in every way absolutely ordinary.<\/p>\n
One young man was working with him, and that young man was continually showing his knowledge, so whatsoever Junnaid would do he would say, \u201cThis is wrong. This can be done in this way, it will be better\u201d \u2013 he knew about everything.<\/p>\n
Finally Junnaid laughed and said, \u201cYoung man, I am not young enough to know so much.\u201d This is really something. He said, \u201cI am not young enough to know so much.\u201d Only a young man can be so foolish, so inexperienced.<\/p>\n
Socrates is right when he says, \u201cWhen I was young I knew too much. When I became ripened, experienced, I came to realize only one thing \u2013 that I am absolutely ignorant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Life is a mystery; that means it cannot be solved. And when all efforts to solve it prove futile, the mystery dawns upon you.<\/p>\n
