A seeker is a person who is attempting to achieve some result through a practice, like a person eating idlis and sambar for breakfast because they see some benefit in it. The idlis and sambar may help in forming regularity in practice but there are many things that idlis and sambar cannot do. Once the regularity is established the interest in idlis and sambar wears off. We find that this is a repetitive experience, and the mind begins to see the limitations of the same. The mind starts hankering for something more. Perhaps someone will gather the courage to try something new. They may suggest instead of sambar to try chatni and chatnis of several varieties get suggested over a period. Still, the experience comes, goes, and is limited.
