In the early stages of our practice we are seeking; seeking some sort of enlightenment or Truth … something that we can get (or that will come to us) that will bring us lasting happiness or peace.
As we progress in our practice we come to realize that all this is delusion. The delusion that there is something "out there" to be found that is going to bring us lasting love or peace or whatever.
The purpose of meditation is to smash this delusion; to disappoint massively! In our disappointment we stop all the striving and find that what we have been seeking so frantically has always been there as a gift. It was our striving that was the problem.
