A seeker of Truth is one who does not seek.
In seeking this, you turn away from it.
The principle is the principle of
Non-seeking; when you seek it,
You lose it.
If you cling to non-striving,
This is the same as striving.
Thus the Diamond Cutter Scripture
Says, "Do not grasp truth,
Do not grasp untruth,
And do not grasp that which is not untrue."
