Seeking

After years of searching The mystery deepens

The idea of waking up Is dreaming

Seek and you shall seek

Even your seeking Doesn’t prevent freedom

The seeker is the sought Means consciousness went off Looking for itself

First there is truth Then there is the search for it Only when you try and catch it Does truth disappear

You can’t be a fly on the wall Because the perceiver is the perceived

A brilliant spiritual concept Destroys itself Taking others with it

You pick up a book and The written message Changes you forever But you have nothing to do With that process

You must either accept your acceptance Or lack of acceptance Or Accept your non-acceptance of your Acceptance or lack of acceptance Or not

Some good and responsible gurus Say you misinterpret Advaita For your own selfish purposes Just so you can do what you like And blame God But Advaita is not two Meaning The above situation is Perfectly God in action

On the spiritual search You can have Misunderstanding And as the search progresses You experience deeper and deeper Misunderstandings Eventually the idea that all is Misunderstanding Is perfectly misunderstood

Advaita non-duality or oneness Are not pointing to what should be They describe what is

Here’s the hint “No hint is needed”

Acceptance comes before Any thing to be accepted

Whether you accept Or reject these concepts Doesn’t matter They are all of equal value In the fruitless search for What already is

The seeker is the sought Even before beginning seeking

Advaita isn’t confusing It’s just unknowable

You can’t see behind a tree Because what you’re seeing Is the tree You can’t ponder the current thought Because what you’re thinking Is the current thought

The spiritual search Has nothing to do with Finding anything

Enlightenment is an idea Creating unenlightenment

Truth can’t be described Let alone remembered

Consciousness is a Miserable seeker

Searching for the truth Is the truth

Toying with enlightenment is Toying with the idea that you’re Not enlightened

If you feel you’re beginning To understand You’re on the wrong path

The idea that truth needs To be pursued Is part of the illusion

When you weigh up the Pros and cons Of a particular teaching Or a particular guru That’s all you’re doing Meanwhile the truth In which those thoughts arise Is steadily present

As a seeker You can only hope to Find yourself Lost in freedom

Seeking is trying to know Freedom is not knowing
