Questions in the Heart



“I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart, and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.

Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them.

The point is to live everything. Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”


- Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903


The above philosophy resonates a lot with me.

A lot of times, we plan, we scheme and we act because we want to attain some goals, to reach some objectives or to realize some achievements.

And in the process of doing that, we face failures and inadequacies because we force the outcome that we desired and the results that we want.

However, your time-table for certain things to happen in your life is not the time-table that the Universe is following.

The Universe, in its infinite wisdom, will unfold the events when the time is right.

Therefore, when you feel that things are not going well in your life, perhaps, it is time to step back and put the questions into your heart.

Accept that the timing is not right now for you to realize your ambitions.

Accept that the Universe knows that you are not ready yet to accept the outcome yet.
The Universe knows that, perhaps you do not have the necessary life experiences or skills to deal with the situation now.

So, surrender to the unknown and live your life now, in the Present.

And know deep in your heart that the many questions and yearnings that you have in your heart will manifest the solutions and answers to you when you are at the right place in life and the timing is right.

Feel the freedom of surrendering to a higher power.

And be awaken to all the possibilities...
