YOU, THE HUMAN BEING, ARE THE ANSWER to the existential question, for that's what the Theory of Evolution suggests. For now at least.
Questions are also quests. And at times, they are life. You get the answer, and that's the end of it all. In the field of space and time, the dance of duality is a constant struggle to reach an equilibrium by bringing the two of the pair of opposites together. Some of the most elementary ideas and notions reflect this simplicity. Thirst and water; Food and the fire in the belly; Air and lungs; Male and Female: procreation; Day with night. Sin vs atonement. Dualistic categories of though; The causality continues.
Most of the time, we have questions. They remain so until they unite with answers. Their resolution converges into ideas, and tools of causality, for the next question. Some of these gets fulfillment, and so they just die and disintegrate. The energy is released, back into the void. But sometimes they become answers to some other quests, or someone else's questions. In the process, they also get transformed more often than not. For the flux of time is a state of constant change.
However, at some occasions, rarely but surely, we have answers. And the need there is for the appropriate question. Perhaps the best example of which is our being.
It is one thing to ask, "What is the meaning of my life?" And it is quite another to appreciate that we are the answer to something. One may end up short on resolving the question of the meaning of one's life if one is not particularly equipped for the intellectual quest of self inquiry (jyan yog). But anyone can become an answer, by simply being.
You are the best answer onto yourself; with no prerequisite of any intellectual capacity.
Since you are whole; a complete creation.
And when you are the answer, the pressure of seeking the answers to questions is removed. That is peace.
And when you are the answer, and the assurance of the question being out there; That is joy.
And when you are the answer, and the particular question finds you; That is bliss.
And when you are the answer to multiple questions, that is the play of 'reincarnation' (recurring patterns and phenomenon) in the field of time and causality. You as the answer remain the same, constant; the questions may change.
Or, you may recur as a question.
As a replica perhaps of you, with some subtle external differentiation; such as male instead of female form. But the quest continues. The tandava. The tick of time. Cyclic.
