How Do We Engage with a Friend’s Question?
Question: How do we engage with a friend’s question? And how do you work with these questions?
Answer: I try to feel every question within myself as if I am asking it. I must feel each question on your level, the way you present it, and feel it on my level, the way I would ask it.
I must feel the difference between these levels and figure out how I can understand your question at my level and answer it at your level. Try to do the same with each friend’s question. You cannot imagine how much you will enrich yourselves, each of you! Therefore, you need to try to enter into your friend.
Children usually ask the most challenging questions. A child’s question may seem naive, but it is very complex. We are not used to such questions.
Additionally, the questions you ask help me create a connection with the person asking. How else can I enter these questions and they, me? In the lessons with you, I gain much more than each of you.
