SEARCHING ONESELF IS A NON-SENSE



SEARCHING ONESELF IS A NON-SENSE


All this fuss of search/seeking in spiritual jargon presupposes the existence of one who has to search, the object of search and the method/technique employed in search.

This makes sense while searching outside including the body....may be even mind for the time being.

But does it make any sense while "searching oneself"?

The phrase "searching oneself" itself is nonsensical as the very basic requirement of any search i.e. the existence of object is altogether missing in this as the seeker is seeking itself. A pure non-sense.

Although no one can help perhaps nor it it is required at all in the so called knowing oneself but fortunate or unfortunate part is that the so called seeker cannot stop seeking him-her/self as all of his/her actions are perhaps happening purely under the influence of conditioning, genes and prevailing circumstances in the moment.
