Is being a seeker one of the least spiritual things we can do? Quite possibly.<\/p>\n
One of the problems with seeking is that we may well find what we seek, but become blind to everything else. We see what we want on the horizon, but in rushing towards it become oblivious to everything else around us.<\/p>\n
‘Ah! There is the answer!’ we shout in delight. ‘At last! Nothing else now matters! Out of my way, everyone!’<\/p>\n
With clear goals before them, seekers may achieve their objective in an organized sort of way. But how much do they discover? True discovery is having no goals, no objectives, just feeling free, open and rushing madly towards nothing…<\/p>\n

C’est fort possible.<\/p>\n Le probl\u00e8me avec cette recherche, c’est que nous pouvons trouver ce que nous cherchons, mais devenir aveugles \u00e0 tout le reste. D\u00e8s que nous apercevons ce que nous voulons \u00e0 l’horizon, nous nous pr\u00e9cipitons dans cette direction en oubliant tout ce qui nous entoure.<\/p>\n ‘Voil\u00e0 la r\u00e9ponse !’, crions-nous avec all\u00e9gresse. ‘Enfin ! Rien d’autre n’a d’importance. \u00c9cartez-vous de mon chemin, tous !’<\/p>\n Avec des buts clairs devant eux, les chercheurs peuvent atteindre leurs objectifs d’une mani\u00e8re ordonn\u00e9e.
