People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something - always, in a word, seeking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Longing and desire goes further than instant satisfaction. That's human nature.
The act of longing for something will always be more intense than the requiting of it.
The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.
Most people are looking for something to give their life meaning.
If some longing goes unmet, don't be astonished. We call that Life.
Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.
Longing, for everyone, is always there, isn't it? More intense at some times than others. You get closer to less longing - an odd metaphoric phrasing, I realize - then, you are further and longing more than ever again.
Just being the seeker, somebody whose open to spiritual enlightenment, is in itself the important thing and it's the reward for being a seeker in this world.
Every human being is searching for a deep sense of meaning, and yet we're all chasing success. We've confused one for the other.
Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?
