\nSeeking is based on some reason,
\nUnderstanding is without any!<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nSeeking is with an effort & purpose,
\nUnderstanding is spontaneous & effortless!<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nUnderstanding is absent in the Seeking,<\/div>\n

\nWhile the \u2018Seeker\u2019 (one who is trying to understand)
\nis absen<\/strong>t in the Understanding!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking consists of the seeker, seeking & the sought,<\/div>\n
\nWhile only the Understanding of one\u2019s Real Nature prevails in the Understanding!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking\/Search consists of the search, searcher & the searched,<\/div>\n
\nUnderstanding denies the very \u2018Searcher\u2019!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking consists of stages, intervals & may be some practices,<\/div>\n
\nWhile the Understanding is Eternal…despite of them!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking has an aim or objective,
\nwhile the nature of Understanding is itself aim-less!\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking is supported by listening, reading or pondering,<\/div>\n
\nWhile the Understanding is Self-supporting (independent)!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFear of forgeting the ‘gathered knowledge’ prevails in the Seeking, <\/em><\/div>\n
\nWhile, even the thought of having understood is absent in the Undersatnding!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBackground of Seeking is always… Duality,<\/div>\n
\nWhile the Understanding is the groundless Non-Duality!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSeeking is an ever changing state,<\/div>\n
\nWhereas Understanding \u2026. the \u2018stateless\u2019 state!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn Seeking, lock exists and the search for the key happens,<\/div>\n
\nWhile in the Understanding, the clear Understanding prevails that <\/div>\n
\nthe lock and the key were never separated (two)! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
