Guest guest Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Someone who is a seeker is not necessarily someone who is a finder. It sounds like many here think a seeker is someone who is also a good student, or who has some specific charististic. But such isn't the case. A seeker is someone who is basically dissatisfied with the material world of the sense objects; a seeker is someone who looks for something else. Not every seeker also finds answers, though many do. Many seekers turn to science. A quality of most seekers is yearning for truth. A quality of most seekers is high power of discrimination, though not necessarily a welll educated mind. A seeker can be someone who also is committed to always letting go of a conceptual understanding of life due to the limitations of the mind, that is, someone who never builds new walls of mentation, and who always lets go of human wisdom in favor of unearthly guidance. In other words, today I am a Hindu, tomorrow I may be a Buddhist, and the next day a Muslim. How? Because where was the Hindu? The Buddhist? The Muslim? All in my mind. Next day I may be a scientist. In this instance the seeker has become not an object but life itself, has not found a fluid belief system, but is itself the stream of life. Concepts are relative and vacuous, the seeker seeks an experiencial absolute which cannot fall away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
