If we are suffering it would be better to be honest with ourself and investigate the one who suffers. After all, if we are suffering we are, by definition, seeking. Doing nothing is not an option for one who considers himself to be a separate self. For such a one there are only two possibilities: to seek temporary relief in objects, substances, activities, states of mind and relationships, or to seek the source of suffering within himself through self-enquiry or self-investigation, which naturally leads to self-abidance or self-surrender.
