Why one who seeks, seeks



While this is so true in this world, with all the losses and disappointments we have faced and will yet face, this is also not how is best useful to live life thinking. 

Impermanence points to something that can be intuited and learned about, a devotion that is much more deeply fulfilling than what the world, bound up in time, karma, and violence as it is, offers. 

And so that which is beyond and above those things, that's most likely what inspires devotion of the kind that is never disappointed. Faith is like a butterfly as it becomes rekindled and more deeply felt. Once the light is burning, there isn't much that could take its flame away. This is why many saints and holy men and women survived really crazy scenarios, even torture or death. Only love of the very most compelling, beautiful and true kind can make anyone do that.
