Questions as Sacred Offerings

Mirabai's poems are filled with questions posed directly to Krishna: Why have you abandoned me? How can I bear this separation? Where are you now? She never arrived at neat answers; the questions themselves were her practice. On grief anniversaries, difficult questions often resurface: Why did they have to die? What was the point? Will I ever stop missing them? Instead of treating these as problems to solve, Questions as Sacred Offerings reframes them as the heart's most authentic speech. You might write these questions in a journal, pose them aloud in a private space, or carry them as daily companions. The unanswerable nature of grief's questions is not a failure; it is the shape of true longing. By offering your questions—rather than demanding answers—you align yourself with a lineage of spiritual seekers who understood that the deepest truths live in the questions themselves, not in any final resolution.
