Where does the search for knowledge end? Does it ever???

What started off as a quest to learn about Vipassana, has driven me up the WALL!! I now realise, how little I knew about Buddhism, inspite of being at the books on Buddhism for a few years now. The interesting thing about this quest is that, what started as a challenge to beat Andy .... has sparked off a hunger for more. I seem to want to all there is to it. Wouldn't my Baba be thrilled to note that he had been right all along when he'd insisted I'd do well in research! I had scoffed it off then, but now when I have no real reason to delve into things, I seem to want to know more. Most people would say that is the way life is meant to pan out...... always go against the grain!

So Vipassana has lead to the schools of Buddhism and then the reasoning behind the postures of the Buddha, that's how scattered the search has gone!

Well, tomorrow is another day! I hope I can make some sense of where I am headed with all this and what is it that I really want to learn. As of now, sore eyes and all, I seem to want it all!!!
