It is better to seek,
even if we do not find,
than to never seek at all.
It is better to keep seeking,
even though we do not find,
than to give up the search entirely.
It is better to wait upon the Truth,
than to grow impatient and then,
to populate our mind with illusions.
It is better to keep waiting,
and to exercise our hope,
than to grow indolent upon deceptions.
Even if our soul were to indulge a thousand years upon the fat of this land—
Still, it would languish and fall faint, for lack of spiritual nourishment.
Though our seeking may appear fruitless, and our waiting unfulfilled—
Seeking and waiting reveal their inner mysteries, and by these we are continually renewed.
