Whatever comes before you is related to you, whether you like it or dislike it. It does not exist independent of you. When you see the inevitability of this relationship, this bondage-the current of life touches you.
You can not find the Original as an object. As the investigation will always require a subject-object format. What ever comes before you including stars, galaxies and so on can not be the source. It is an object. It can have some use, function. To come to the source, the subject (you) is also to be included. To see that subject-object is a singular process rests all seeking.
