What is a seeker really seeking?

[PearlSeeker]

Sometimes seeking is more of a goal than the destination.

Yes. Maybe the infinite good can never be exhausted. "The path is the goal."

 

[lewisnotmiller]

More liberated more inner peace. More actualized more perfect.

That is pretty contextual and appears a little...I mean...people have their own paths.

Love, harmony, bliss, peace, unity are nice words, but utopian. They come in handy while fooling people.

"A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at."
(Bruce Lee)

Love is like air, water and food. Saying you don't need it is utopian.

Eh... I'm not so sure all seekers are generally interested in "truth."

Many are just seeking to prove to themselves something they already believe; confirmation bias. If they are open minded, they can work past that towards the truth, but that takes real effort and a willingness to be wrong and to adjust accordingly.

Agree. True seekers are the later.

Yes, everyone is actualizing own potentials but at the same time we are all human.

Let's take an example of a pianist:
more actualized instrument playing skills - - > a more perfect pianist he is,
and at the same time more humane - - > a more perfect human.

Yeah, we just see things differently, I think. We will be talking past one another.
But he might need to make choices between his drive to become a 'perfect' piano player, and his drive to be a 'perfect' human.

Not to mention my issues with the concept of 'perfect' in the first place.

You have ignored the second sentence of the quote from my post. "They come in handy while fooling people." One has to be wary of sweet talk.

God, truth, self, love, wisdom, bliss, awareness, life, liberation, actualization, peace, unity, flow, harmony, perfection ...?

Are all these really different things?

How about seeking information, understanding?

What is the universe, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, evolution? How does the world work, how do human societies work, how do human bodies work, how do human brains work?

Those things will point you towards wisdom if anything will, with the added comfort of knowing it's based in reality.

The seeker need not know exactly what is to be found.

From my experience, seekers will only know that which they seeking if they find it.

IMO
A seeker is seeking a way....a path to follow.....

Interesting answer - the song.

... and the seeker knows what to left behind/move from.

The deeper you get the more paths merge.

 

[SeekerOnThePath]

A seeker is searching for the only thing there is to find, which is that.
