"When you get the answer, hang up the phone."

I think it was Ram Dass who responded: "I don't hang up on a teacher."

And what if there's more than one answer? Or what if you've forgotten the answer?

Sometimes what you get is not an answer but an experience, or a communion with the sacred or a transcendent reality which is ineffable and can't be brought back to the ordinary world.
