The Seeker issue 6 | Page 2

We don’t know how to find our way We are travelling and we are seeking. The seeking is the force which drives us sometimes crazy. We don’t know what to do. We have to seek something. We are not satisfied with what we have, so we go on seeking. What are we seeking? We have no idea as to what we have to seek – a thing that will give us satisfaction, the place which will stop our journey, our abode where we would rest. This urge within us is very evident in the modern time. This is the first time you find so many people are seeking. And they are genuinely seeking. They feel that there is something lurking in OUR LIFE’S JOURNEY their being. There is something that is missing in them. It is being said in the scriptures – in all the scriptures, whether Indian, Islamic or Biblical – that to be there, you have to be born again. In the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna says, “Those who see, can see. Those who cannot see, cannot see.” It is a simple thing, but to a normal human being, we cannot understand. “I can see everything. Why can’t I see? I see the colours. I see the room. I see everything.” Why is it said that those who can see, can see and those who cannot see, cannot see? It is a very mysterious statement.
