game of hide-and-seek

[Guest guest]

"The search , reaching all kinds of frustrations,

is part of this process.

The "me" wanting to know the "I" , its source ,is a game of

hide-and-seek .

 

Ramana Maharshi once said to a disciple wanting in great

distress to know his true nature, "When you do understand ,

you will recollect this frustrating wanting-to-know incident

with great amusement. "

 

Until that moment this joke is an extraordinarily tragic one.

Until the search , which begins with the individual and

ends with the annihilation of the individual , until this

fruitless search is is realized as being fruitless, it's truly

tragic."
