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.

i too see myself as a seeker, i have learned SO much! i have studied many paths,

and i feel that it is jnana, if i am studying koran or bible, or vedas. i see

god in all paths, i have a friend who is native american, i have learned much

from his ways too! i have seen much on this journey called life, and i am

thankful i have eyes to see!
