Whatever else is going on in your life,
Remember, you are a seeker.

Whatever else anyone says or does,
May have said, or may have done,
May say, or may do,
Remember, you are a seeker.

Whenever you are frightened, confused, or lost,
Whenever you are angry, jealous, or in despair,
Whenever you are happy, relaxed, and at peace,
Whether at work or at home, at play or at rest,
Attending the PTA, washing dishes, brushing the dog,
Laying bricks, splitting wood, trading stocks,
Walking, running, dancing,
Talking, singing, crying,
In prayer or in meditation,
Remember, you are a seeker.

Day after day, night after night, week after week,
As often as you can, as long as it takes,
Say to yourself, say to your Teacher,
“More than anything, I want to Know the Truth.”
“More than anything, I want to See the Truth.”
“More than anything, I want to discover What’s What.”

Say it with confidence,
Say it with determination,
Say it with aspiration,
Say it like you mean it.
“More than anything, I am a seeker.”
More than anything!
