SeekingThe world is full of seekers whose identity is wrapped up in seeking wisdom, truth, or enlightenment. This is basically the same as seeking riches, beauty, fame, love, or recognition. The purpose of all of these identifications is to fill emptiness. But if you could look at the situation with complete sincerity, if you could just see what is really there without the props, you would give yourself a little chance of finding true intrinsic meaning. (Diamond Heart Book 3, pg 42)
Understanding and seekingUnderstanding, itself, is very simple. Understanding is there
when you are not searching. You do not need to look for understanding;
it is not something to pursue. You do not have to make efforts
to have insights. Your efforts are not rewarded with realizations.
Understandings, realizations, and insights appear when you are
relaxed, when for a moment you have stopped your seeking. (Diamond
Heart Book 4, pg 25) |
