Alan Watts - Give it away and it will come back

’That what I want, basically, what I really want, is what you want. And I don’t know what you want. Surprise me’. But that’s the kinship between “I“ and “thou“. So when I ask, I go right down to the question, which we started with: “What do I want?“ The answer is “I don’t know“. When Bodhidharma was asked, “Who are you?“ which is another form of the same question, he said “I don’t know“. Planting flowers to which the butterflies come, Bodhidharma says “I know not“.
