I love your question Somik. I frequently think of that which I am looking for is that which is looking. After reading Adyashanti my reaction is the same as above, plus that the spiritual is no different from the secular. Adyashanti is inspiring. I was reminded of last week's piece where not knowing can help generate powerful difficult to define knowing.
My lifetime as an educator helped me notice that all learning and awareness is for itself and maybe for more unforced, natural learning and awareness. I am reminded of the quote: "He who is his own Dr. has a fool for patient." Our schools and university training often do not help us see that he or she who is his or her own educator is on the road to wisdom. Also I often think of a way that can be said is not the way. Warm and kind regards to everyone.
