Why a human being is always seeking?

In our lives, we often find ourselves seeking something: success, happiness, love, or a sense of purpose. Yet, the very act of seeking implies a sense of incompleteness or dissatisfaction with the present moment.

1. The Nature of Seeking:

The act of seeking arises from a sense of lack or discontentment within ourselves. We may believe that we are incomplete and that by acquiring certain things or experiences, we will find happiness, fulfillment, or a sense of identity. This constant pursuit often takes us away from the present moment and perpetuates a cycle of desire and dissatisfaction.

2. The Illusion of Fulfillment:

Our search for fulfillment is based on the illusion that something external can complete us or bring us lasting happiness. We may spend our lives chasing after various goals and experiences, only to find that each new attainment brings only temporary satisfaction before the desire for more arises. This endless cycle of seeking and attainment prevents us from truly experiencing the richness of life and keeps us trapped in a state of perpetual longing.

3. The Path of Self-Inquiry:

To break free from the cycle of seeking, we should engage in self-inquiry – the process of examining our own thoughts, beliefs, and desires. By turning our attention inward, we can begin to question the assumptions that underlie our sense of dissatisfaction and our pursuit of fulfillment. We may discover that our desires are based on conditioned patterns of thinking and that our sense of lack is a product of our own minds.

4. The Discovery of Wholeness:

As we engage in self-inquiry and delve into the nature of our seeking, we may come to realize that the sense of wholeness and fulfillment we seek is not something to be found outside ourselves. Instead, it is our true nature, obscured by the thoughts, beliefs, and desires that cloud our perception. By seeing through the illusion of our seeking and recognizing the completeness that is already present within us, we can experience a profound sense of freedom, contentment, and inner peace.

5. Living in the Present Moment:

The key to transcending our seeking and experiencing the wholeness of our being lies in living fully in the present moment. By letting go of our attachment to the past and our anticipation of the future, we can open ourselves to the richness and beauty of the here and now. In this state of presence, we can experience life directly, free from the filters of our desires and expectations, and discover the true essence of what it means to be alive.

Through self-inquiry and the cultivation of presence, we can discover the wholeness and contentment that are inherent in our true nature, and experience the freedom, joy, and peace that come from living in harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
