Everyone is a Seeker
March 24, 2023 A dolphin in the ocean, a raven on
the tall tree, a child sitting on the doorstep, a
mother struggling with life, a father coping
with the harshness of this planet, a Sadhu
sitting in a cave, a doctor performing a surgery,
a soldier marching on the ground, a player
honing his skills-all of them breathing at the
same time. All of them are searching either for
survival or happiness or contentment or the
truth. Seeking for something more- is that one
thread that connects us all. Research for self
discovery is a journey that can take us down many
different parts, some of which may ultimately
proved to be dead ends. We become consumed with
the pursuit of external validation and lose sight
of our own true selves.

Yet human beings are pretty intelligent
creatures. You may find references of people who
gave up on the world and turned to the journey of
self-discovery. But you may hardly find
references of people who gave up on the journey
of self-realization and started pursuing the
world again. Perhaps once you have glimpsed the
vastness of inner landscapes and green Meadows
of truth, you may lose interest in pebbles and
suffocating streets of illusion. It seems
inconceivable-that everything we know, everything
we love, every thing that even was and will be,
failed to provide us unshakeable peace and
unwavering happiness. Down here on earth, the way
we have evolved from being various species,
managing billions of thoughts and ignoring our
own ungratefulness for our miraculous brains-
our capacity for seeking arises. Seeking must
have fallen on an ancient atom when it was
separated from its source. The seeking of atoms
swirled, flowed outside and turned into a
molecule. The molecule then could not handle the
sharp seeking and burst into liquids, gases or
solids. The pain of separation and the quest for
returning home must have created our entire
universe. Our seeking is evident, eternal,
omnipotent , omnipresent and infinitely powerful.
Old Woman Seeker
As I was going about my day, my phone rang. I
picked it up to find an elderly woman on the
other end of the line. Hello, my name is Kaur,
she said in a thick Australian accent. I am a
Sikh woman, religious and spiritual, and I want
to meet you. Surprised, I asked her how she had
heard of me. My granddaughter was your student,
she replied. She told me about you and then I
attended few of your online sessions. The moment
I saw you I just knew that I had to meet you. I
am coming to India to find God and I believe you
can help me. I hesitated, unsure of how to
respond. I am just a teacher, I explained. I
teach about the subconscious mind and human
consciousness. I cannot promise to help you find
God, that is a personal journey. But Kaur was
persistent. Please, I beg of you, she said. I
know you are the one who can help me. I am
coming to India and I want to meet you. I will do
anything to learn from you. Feeling slightly
overwhelmed, I agreed to meet with her. When she
arrived, I was struck by her appearance. She was
an old woman, with grey hair and dressed in an
Indian white salwar suit. She looked to be the
same age as my own grandmother would be if she
were still alive today. As she entered the room,
she bowed down to me. I felt uncomfortable but
reciprocated her gesture. She then requested me
to teach her everything I knew. I agreed, and I
started teaching her about the human mind, both
in and out of class. But every time I would
explain something to her, she would interrupt and
ask about God. I tried to explain to her that
God was not a separate entity, but rather a part
of oneself. However, her desire to meet God was
unwavering. Despite this, I found her to be a
humble and hard-working student. Her faith in me
was strange but also reassuring, knowing that
there are still people in the world who seek to
find God rather than only seeking worldly
pleasures.

For the next three months, Kaur graced me with
her presence in my classroom, eagerly absorbing
every word I spoke. Her approach to the teachings
was unlike any other student I had encountered.
While the others were focused on the technical
aspects of clinical hypnotherapy and Thetahealing
Chakra, as well as family bonds and
constellations, Kaur was on a quest to uncover
the deepest layers of her own mind, both the
good and the bad, in order to reach the ultimate
essence of existence God. At first, I must
admit, I was skeptical of her intentions. I
wondered if she was suffering from some sort of
mental illness, seeking solace in God through the
teachings I offered. But as I got to know Kaur,
I met her family and saw the way they spoke of
her in such reverent terms. It became clear that
Kaur was not simply searching for a way to cope,
but rather she came from a family deeply rooted
in religious and spiritual practices. And so, I
came to believe that her desire to find God was
a genuine pursuit, born from a lifetime of
spiritual inclination and a profound thirst for
knowledge. Every day, as Kaur sat in my class, I
could feel a divine energy flowing through me,
directed towards her in particular. It was as if
she recognized something in me, something that I
myself was not even aware of. And sometimes, I
felt guilty for teaching her solely about the
subconscious mind, without even mentioning God.
But Kaur always reassured me that I was the right
person to guide her on this journey towards
self-discovery. There were times when I would sit
with her and tell her that I am not an
enlightened person. I am a simple girl who learnt
the sciences and our teaching and working on
human consciousness. There were moments when I
questioned whether I was doing her a disservice
by teaching only about the subconscious mind,
without explicitly mentioning God. But Kaur
reassured me that she was here to understand her
own self, step by step, and that every bit of
knowledge I imparted was leading her closer to
her ultimate truth. She said one day, I have
very less time and I can not waste it in worldly
pursuits. Everything you teach me helps me to get
rid of mental illusions and take one step closer
to my truth. You may look at your teachings from
scientific perspective but for me I receive the
tools to purify my self so I can find my true
essence. She was right. I realised the sciences
of subconscious mind could be used to explore
our own essence and discover the truth within
ourselves. All you need is pure thirst for your
own truth.
