Searching for what is lost is the apparent normal state in today’s world. Only there is nothing that is lost and thus to be searched for. Not the search, but the abandonment of the search leads to knowledge. To search means to be separated. But the separation is an illusion and in this illusion nothing true is to be found.
Nevertheless, separation is part of our existence. If we touch the hot stove plate, we pull our hand back in a flash. Separation conditions our material survival. It is not reprehensible to separate to a part from the pain of the purely material society. Only we must not stop at the separation, because then it would only be a state of passivity and fear of the pain. If we separate ourselves from the pain of this society, then it is up to us to move forward and perfect our consciousness. Thus, to go from fear to certainty and then, as a whole, perhaps return to society in a new way.
