“I think that I am the seeker, but the truth is that I am not the seeker” - Then, if I am not the Seeker, who is? The answer could be that in reality there is no seeker as such, but instead an impulsive, in-built need to seek something that has been programmed within us all. Something within the ego (me) pushes my thought and emotional processes to seek whatever is written in the programming of my Psyche – However, I think that I want to seek something, when in reality it is the impulse within that pushes me to act. An analogy could be helpful here: if we take a computer for example, we know that for it to function it needs to have inbuilt special computer programs. In the same manner, we have as human being an innate, engrained program with which we are born and is best called our natural "blue print" or the "Perfect Model". To make it sound more mystical and nearer to the truth, let's call this programming with the name of - the Psyche. Each human being has of course a Psyche, which has been programmed before incarnation. Therefore the seeking in human beings depends on the programming, over which, we as human beings have no control.
Spiritual seeking begins with an individual ego — seeker — seeking enlightenment, or Self-realization, as an object, which will give him or her more pleasure than he or she can ever imagine getting from the material world. That is where it starts. The seeking by the ego for enlightenment can end not with intellectual understanding but only with the absolute understanding intuited in the heart that there never was a seeker, a doer—there never was a seeker for any seeking. There is seeking but no individual seeker. There is doing but no individual doer thereof. That is the end of it!
