In Zen Buddhism, pupils are encouraged to meditate upon koans--paradoxical questions that cannot be answered logically. Answers come in a momentary flash of insight, which can occur at any time.
Imagine that the koan "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" floats across your mind. Do you actively try to find the answer? Imagine that you have asked a mentor who listens without replying. Do not expect an immediate awakening--if insight does not come today, perhaps it will come tomorrow.
