Sometimes, in a blessed life, there arises the spiritual search, the search for God, the search for Truth.
There is a putting aside of mundane existence and a turning of one’s attention toward spiritual life. Unfortunately, the same conditioning that directed the mundane life usually also attempts to direct the spiritual search, and it, then, becomes a search for spiritual pleasure, spiritual comfort, spiritual security.
Sooner or later there has to be a disillusionment with that search also.
At the heart of every human being, there is a command to find this - “happiness.” But it is impossible to find happiness. As long as you are seeking to find happiness “somewhere,” you are overlooking where happiness is. The same in reference to God. As long as you are seeking to find God in some place, you are overlooking the essential truth of God, which is Omnipresence. When you seek to find happiness someplace else, you are overlooking your true nature which is happiness. You are overlooking yourself.
