How to Meet Your Own Interest

I lived in monasteries and met many people with interest similar to my own. How can I meet my own? I need to know. Be careful. If it means storing up experiences and beliefs, it will tie you like a chord and prevent you from knowing. Knowing happens directly when not even a thought stands between you and the thing you know. When you see yourself as you are, not as you would like to be. Dear young friend, I will do everything I can to help you attain your aim.
