My process to become a seeker

A quick introduction to those who want to understand what a seeker is and whether or not to become one...

I started off with a lot of questions bothering me. Most of them deep and none of them simple. I found that most people would tell me to 'take it easy or light' and would ignore these questions. Unfortunately my constitution did not allow me to do that! Some of the questions I had were:

  • What is the purpose of Life?
  • What is Life?
  • Why is death mandatory and what is it?
  • What is the composition of the universe?
  • etc.
The process to answer these questions was pretty long and took me 23 years. 16 years were spent in determining my philosophy of life and the rest in understanding the philosophy after I was clear which one was correct. Most of the time - close to 13 years, was spent in disproving alternate philosophies.

Broad-based, my learning phase went through 3 phases:
  1. Destroying the illusion - where I rejected my understanding of the universe as taught by humans! This took me 16 years.
  2. Rebuilding the framework - where I understood what the solution actually is. What is the Universe and what is my role in it. This took me about 2 years to understand
  3. Implementing the solution - where I figured out how to bring the concepts in step 2 to real life. How could I live in the human world when I didn't agree with anything that they are doing!
My focus in this blog will be primarily step 3, but I will provide a guideline to step 1 in my next post. Hoping people who are interested and smart will be able to move beyond 'Maya' and become seekers of the truth like me!
