Quote
Suppose you have a question. You go to google. You get answer. It triggers another question. And it goes on and on. You start spending entire time on Google. You forget that there are many apps beyond google. It happens to many seekers. They abuse the functionality of questioning. They question everything except the phenomenon of questioning itself.

Wearing perfume can't be a substitute for bath. For a seeker, reading famous spiritual books, visiting some holy Gurus and places, doing some chanting and rituals is like wearing perfume. If you wish to take bath, throw yourself to the universe. It will make you do things that are not even remotely spiritual or religious. But they will bathe you clean.

There are seekers who are too serious about the supreme truth; they try to grab it and end up grabbing its cheap copies. And then there are those who are not serious at all; they are just happy admiring and worshipping it from a distance.

In the infinite dark cosmos, a tiny ball called Earth is floating. Its surface is occupied by even tinier creatures called 'human beings', who wear fancy clothes and speak big words. Seekers start their journey filled with this wonder but soon their wonder gets replaced with theories and stories, scriptures and Gurus. They settle at some ideology or sect and life goes on.

Most beautiful treasures are found by grace, not merely by seeking. But seeking is very important. Only when the Ego goes out for seeking can the treasures come in to adorn your soul.

Answers are just food for mind. Like an animal may someday cross the boundaries of jungle in search of food, you might cross the boundaries of mind in search of answers. The supreme truth is not an answer but you may find Him in search of answers.

When you see an old man, you would automatically trust and respect him. He might have been a thug in his days... he might still be a crook, But your mind can’t even imagine that!A seeker must keep this factor in mind while referencing old books.

Quote
Everything is dual (two) in the world: high-low, good-bad, hot-cold, question-answer. A seeker who has found the answers of his questions is still stuck in the duality or two-ness. He has still not experienced oneness which is beyond questions and answers.

Seeker doesn't find the truth; The truth finds the seeker. A seeker tries to push the door of truth. He beats it, kicks it but it doesn't open. He tries to pull it but there is no handle to pull. Then he waits and waits. Finally the truth opens the door from the other side. Finally the seeker meets his true self which lives on the 'other side'.
