A Hasid once came to the court of the Kotzker Rebbe. The Rebbe asked him, “Why have you come here?”
“I have come to find God,” the Hasid replied.
“it is unfortunate that you have come so far and spent so much to waste your time,” the rebbe countered. “God is everywhere. You could have just found him just as well had you stayed home.”
”If so for what purpose should I have come?” he asked.
”To find yourself,” the Rebbe answered. “You should have come to find yourself.”
There many who seek that which is right in front of them. The object that we are seeking is not lost, we are.
