I often speak of the "seeking mechanism" that keeps us on a trajectory of looking for fulfillment in a future moment. When applied to the spiritual path, to the genuine desire for self-realization or liberation from ego-identity, the seeking mechanism can keep us on a treadmill of always looking for something "up ahead". Somehow freedom is never here now. The more I meditate or progress in my spiritual practice, the closer I get to the holy grail of enlightenment ... but somehow it's never here now. The seeking mechanism keeps us filling the spiritual shopping basket and making us feel temporarily satisfied ... but it's never enough and the subtle suffering of always seeking something keeps going on.
