The Seeker issue 3 | Page 11

In modern times, the search for truth is so widespread that it had to happen. It was all as if planned out that in modern times the people who are seeking the truth in various lives have to attain that awareness which will grant them the light of truth. The search is on. A human being may be searching for his joy in money, in power, in possessions, or seeking security for himself. The search of the seekers is on and they have to find the truth. And that is possible in these modern times. It has to work out, but perhaps people are not aware that the modern times are best suited for this seeking of this enlightenment. But also, the modern times are the worst times. The reason is that the modern times are the times of confusion. In everything that we do, we are confused. We are not sure whether what we are doing is correct or incorrect, whether we do it in money, in power or in seeking because this is the time when your wisdom is tested. If you are wise, then you will choose wisely and that is why a confusion is created – you can say like a puzzle. In modern times life is much more puzzling than it ever was. Before, life was much smoother in the sense that we lived in ignorance and ignorance was bliss. But now, seeking we must do. We cannot do without it. This is the highest seeking that a man has to achieve. First, it started with food in the animal stage and continued with us, but now we are seeking something much beyond our comprehension. But still we are seeking. We do not know what we are seeking. But that we are seeking is a fact.
