Thank you, RedChick ~ the seeker who seeks does not in fact exist.

Do-nothing meditation AKA resting in awareness AKA choiceless awareness AKA shikantaza is an excellent (non-)insight into non-doing. |

Most Hindus I would say are focussed on Dharma(righteousness), Artha(wealth), Kama (desires) , and a few are actively pursuing enlightenment.
James Donald Walters, also known as Goswami Kriyananda and a disciple of Yogananda, had interestingly stated that the 'kingdom of heaven' stated in Christianity was a state of God-consciousness and enlightenment.

“The “kingdom of heaven” to which he( Jesus) referred was the state of God-consciousness, not the beautiful astral heavens that most people visualize, where virtuous souls go after death.”— Goswami Kriyananda
