“When someone is seeking,” said Siddartha, “It happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

Rudri another great share! What a great tip to keep in mind moving forward. I love really your posts in the morning when everything is just starting. It gives me a great share to think about during my day 🙂
Thanks so much, Mari. I am grateful that my posts resonate with you. xo
This is so wonderful. I have been forcing myself to seek and with it has come a deep and debilitating sense of panic. This is a much needed reset.
I am grateful that it resonated with you, Amanda. xo
Oh I love this. Like Amanda, I’ve been trying so hard to seek but I think being open to finding is a better way. Thank you for this Rudri.
This is wise and great !
I don’t think any of your shares are anything less than spot-on and amazing.
I get it – finding is a better way, isn’t it?
Thanks for your kind words, Tamara. Your compliment means a great deal because I give a great deal of thought to the musings I post on Thursday. xo
