The Joy of Not Seeking
La Alegría de No Buscar
A student reflects on how the drive to seek has quieted, and wonders whether that quieting is a kind of giving up or a genuine settling into love and aliveness.

I really love what you're talking about regarding choosing and decision. Even though, now that I hear you towards the end, I think it may be different from what you're describing. I just feel this lightness, a lighter fear in a way. Something in me that was always seeking, seeking, seeking, trying to get somewhere, has subdued a lot. For a while I was scared: did I give up? Did I forget?
And then I sit here and listen to you, or I go to a satsang, and there is just all this love and this joy of doing it when it's joyful to do it. Love for the love. It kind of fits back into my sense of: this is what it is right now, towards life. Alive. In this separation, and in this joy of investigating freedom when there is joy for investigating freedom. Listening to you speaking today really put me in contact with that again, and I celebrate it. It's really beautiful.
My pleasure. Lovely to see you.
