Question about the nature of objective reality

Let me answer this question by asking a question: do you care AT ALL about finding out the Truth ?

If we're talking about the big banana, then what does an answer change in your experience? 

 

Buddha himself may answer you with X (the truth), but jumping to a conclusion or believing in it would do more harm than good, as it gets in the way of your own questioning. Neither is it about becoming convinced of a piece of knowledge, or even understanding what's being said. 

 

So, here's the truth: banana.

 

Now what?

I don't know how to answer this . It's like asking where does the universe exist ? Or where is this present moment happening?  It's just here and there is no outside to it since there is nothing else but it . So the answer would be It's just here .and here is all there is and it doesn't have an external location or position. We exist in the middle of nowhere. 

Where is here?

"Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless."
