It is often said that if one simply stops the seeking, the wanting,

Realization will happen. It might be true if the seeking stops spontaneously

and the mind loses its identity into its Source.

 

I wonder whether one can just give up seeking and wanting Realization.

 

Probably one cannot give up wanting any "want" until the wanting has waned.

One can certainly concentrate on wanting "total and complete blissful

surrender." Perhaps that is helpful. The fundamental issue is the

"wanting." Surrender happens when the wanting has waned or has been

suspended, or one simply has become completely indifferent to all wanting.

In other words, one has become "wanted out".

 

There is a Gate to the Kingdom of Heaven. To approach this Gate, one must be

a seeker. But the Gate does not open to seekers. And seeking cannot be given

up by will or effort.

 

It happens when you have been waiting and waiting and waiting. Waiting can

be a form of doing also. Then it is a long wait. You might be doing

anything. Meditation, Yoga, Pranayama, etc. These are all essentially forms

of waiting. And

waiting can be helpful. It tires you out. It is Grace that finally makes us

so indifferent to any "seeking" or "wanting", that we forget what we had

wanted and what we had been waiting for. Here the Primal Being Reveals It

Self as Eternal, as the very Core of our existence, being Existence It Self.

 

To enter the Kingdom of Heaven one must be completely naked and bereft of

all things. Seekers can approach the Gate but cannot enter.

 

There is no path to this entrance because there is no where else to go.
