Siddhartha

Analyze the following quote. Is there really a difference between Seeking and Finding?

Please respond by 9pm. Don't forget to respond to at least two other posts. 

“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
