A ‘part’ seeks its whole. It is impelled by love towards the Perennial Source from where it sprang.
Seeking is the essence of human nature. However, the depth and the intensity of the seeking varies from its gross state of idle curiosity to its subtle level, which surges in a Buddha to know the self. It can easily be perceived in its gross form as the urge that takes a traveler to places or the seeking of a scientist. It manifests in the subtle sensitivity of an artist to seek through aesthetics or a man of learning seeking knowledge. Those who are not aware of their seeking also seek in the groping of the dark. The drug addict also seeks but does not know what he seeks.

When do we become a seeker? We become a seeker the moment inspiration comes from within. Till then our questions are like the child asking his parents, what are the stars? What is the sun, the moon? The inner inspiration transforms our questioning to an inner search. What are we, why are we here? How are we connected to others?

Yes, life has its woes, its ups and downs. There is misery, suffering and repulsion. But if we also become miserable, then only misery is perpetuated. Let us not fall into the vicious circle of "Les Miserable." Let us diffuse the misery with our positivity. When there are dark clouds, let us look for the silver lining. When we see the mire, let us look at the lotuses. Let us delight in the sweet plays of a loving Motherly power, who is eternally full of love and compassion for her children, who tenderly leads and bestows self-realization. Life is God’s gift. It is a path to abide with him. Let us embark on the path lending each other a hand, and then we will not miss the signs at the crossroads. The blind could see with the eyes of the mute and the deaf could hear with the ears of the blind. By sharing our gifts, the journey will become shorter!
