“‘Lahiri (Mahasaya), do you call me for a trifle?’ The master’s (Babaji) gaze was stern. 'Truth is for earnest seekers, not for those of idle curiosity. It is easy to believe when one sees; no soul searchings are them necessary. Supersensual truth is deservedly discovered by those who overcome their natural materialistic skepticism.’ He added gravely, 'Let me go!’
Paramahansa Yogananda - Autobiography of a Yogi
Any seeker knows that feeling of hardship: why should my ambitions be so hard to reach? We ask that, coming from the assumption that the seeking process is an obstacle on the way to finding, but there is another possible way. Maybe seeking is not an obstacle at all, but the purpose of it all, maybe a life of a seeker is the goal, and the object or subject we so yearn for is only for the sake of keeping us seeking. I don't know about you, but I find this rather comforting and true.
