Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no 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.

No, a true seeker, one who truly wished to find, could accept no doctrine. But the man who has found what he sought, such a man could approve of every doctrine, each and every one, every path, every goal; nothing separated him any longer from all those thousands of others who lived in the eternal, who breathed the Divine.

Pleasured equally
In seeking as in finding,
Each detail minding,
Old Walt went seeking
And finding.

For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself.

If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
