Seek and You Shall Not Find


When someone is seeking. . .

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.


{Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse}
