What would I ask a wise man - Based on A True Story.. QOTW

Thank you to @porters for posing this weeks question! I’m a day late answering this... but I really wanted to write on such a fun question.. My answer this week is based on a true story, although I didn’t ask him this question by mouth, i did meet him many times and had my questions answered through the game of life.. I have lived in India for 14 years and I have met many a wise man, sage, and even an Avatar! So here is my story....
I sat before him, finally. After many years and unsuccessful efforts to meet this most wise of wise men, he had finally granted me a personal interview. It was well known that people could ask him anything, and he would always stun and amaze just about everyone with his in depth knowledge of their most private personal lives and dreams. He also understood science very well and was able to advise scientists who would often come to speak with him. Politicians, prime ministers, kings and queens secretly visited him from around the world, all to seek his council and advice.

ecoTrain QOTW - "If your were to meet with a wise person/sage what sort of questions would you ask?"

@nainaztengra has spent much time pondering about life after death and shares some of the books she has been reading about it along with some of her findings. She also had been wondering about the Karmic cycle and asks:

Why is there so much of Suffering?

@zeleiracordero

What do I ask a wise?

@zeleiracordero found

There is a lot of wisdom in nature, much of it in old people who never studied, as well as in prepared people who use knowledge as tools to reach deeper and more philosophical truths, combining it with intuition and empathy, among other things.
And
In every living being, there is a teacher

She tells the story of how she used to like listening to the old folks as a child and how she would learn from them and they, in turn would learn from her. She espoused about how with the interaction of people we learn and we also have a sort of "inner wiseman".
Her final question was wondering about what happens at the end
What happens to us when the heart stops beating and the brain stops working?

@wakeupkitty

What is wisdom?

@wakeupkitty questioned wisdom itself, not being able to think of any wise person in this world! She did think of a question she would have liked to have asked her deceased grandmother. And as for asking those who have lived for decades - actually she would prefer to go back in time and see for herself!

My Response for Ecotrain's QOTW - Questions for the Wise...

@porters wants to know about our existence

On this plane of existence are there fixed patterns or is it all random? Is it just chaos or is there an order.

She shared a video with a conversation between Jordan Peterson and Dr. Iain McGilchrist where they talked about this.
Also that there is a need to be open so you can receive this knowledge or to have wisdom imparted. Her desire is that she may be open to receive any wisdoms or insights upon encountering a wise person or sage.
