Spiritual seeking is the pursuit of a deeper understanding of life, existence, and one’s place in the universe, often involving exploration of various philosophies, practices, and beliefs. It encompasses a journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment, where individuals seek to connect with something greater than themselves, whether that be a higher power, universal consciousness, or inner peace. True spiritual seeking requires a detachment from material concerns and societal expectations, allowing individuals to focus on their inner growth and the essence of their being rather than external possessions or status. This transformative process encourages introspection and mindfulness, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
