Searching vs. finding
Making enlightenment our goal in the sames sense we make a goal of other things just creates another problem. This isn't fundamentally different from concentrating on more mundane goals, and is in some ways worse, for being an unquestioned good makes it even more insidious. We place something else between ourselves and our happiness. once we do that we strain after the goal, trying too hard, pushing and forcing.
Searching is not finding. Trying too hard is antithetical to peace, and thus antithetical to enlightement.
In this paragraph, I'm wondering what 'Searching is not finding' means. Does it say because you search doesn't necessarily mean you can find?
Any comments will be appreciated.

Hi, Broadly speaking, I understand the meaning this way. 'Searching' is a less desirable, less 'spiritual' activity than 'finding'. Clive
