So thinking with its questions and answers is an exercise in futility because there is no such thing as thinking only the thought thinking.

All require futile thinking or thought thinking, even questions and answers. It can be well assumed that " thinking " or thought thinking is a futile exercise and insignificant in these matters. So it is agreed that: ... " compared to the Reality that is Everything all thoughts are Nothing, zero. " And so the question and statements below amount to the same and having no privilege over any other thought thought or spoken, they are Nothing, zero. Are they unnecessarily stated? Are they to be heeded? " Give up all questions except one: 'Who am I?' " " When the answer adds up to Zero, nothing, then I am Everything. " For the Master and follower: Is the Master divided when he speaks the " truth, " painting dualities in words from somewhere that point to an imagined nonduality, an reachable thought object (Zero)? And does that " truth " in words (above) structure a thought prison for the Master and the employer of the words? Or is it some other thought thinking? A futility?
