Seeking & Finding … ( 02 / 22 / 2012 )
“ When someone seeks , then it often happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks , and he is therefore able to truly find nothing , to truly take in nothing – because he thinks only about the thing he is seeking ; because he has one particular goal ; because he is obsessed with that goal . Seeking means : having a goal . But FINDING , on the other hand , means : being free ; being open ; having no goal ; choosing to simply See what there is to be Seen – and to simply Do what there is to be Done ” ~ inspired by Herman Hesse ( in Siddhartha )
In order to truly Find what our Hearts seek , we must have the humility to truly SEEK with an open-mind ; we must be willing to See not what we wish to see , but rather to See what is already there to be Seen .
And to Seek in this manner , we must also have the courage to stop being led … We must have the courage to set aside “ learning ” and “ teachers ” and “ leaders ” & LIVE our Truths , not merely think about them or read about them or talk about them … We must be brave enough to enliven the wisdom of Jacques Cousteau and “ go see for ourselves ”.
So … when you set forth to Love – when you set forth to really LOVE , without limit or expectation or hope or desire – what do you Find ?
