Death of the Seeker It is so funny how easily people accept that an Adi Da or Osho or Gurdjieff or Krishnamurti is/was awakened or realized and how the prospect of ones neighbor or informal correspondent being awakened or realized is so threatening, so unthinkable for most of us. Of all our self-images, the one called "Seeker" is the most tenacious, as if the prospect of losing this identity was tantamount to death itself -- and the acceptance that someone we actually know has shed that comfortable label for well and good seems to be the Seeker-ego's worst nightmare.
