Summary

This quote is emphasizing the importance of an insightful and paradoxical approach to seeking or pursuing something. It highlights that seeking with attachment and a specific agenda, pursuing sound and form, limits one's perspective and understanding. On the other hand, not seeking at all reduces one's individuality and purpose, making them no different from inanimate objects. The quote suggests that true seeking should be detached yet purposeful, letting go of attachments and preconceptions while still actively engaging in the process. The concept of "seeking without seeking" is about finding the balance between effort and non-attachment in the pursuit of knowledge or enlightenment.

Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.
