2. Especially, a religious seeker: a pilgrim, or one who aspires to enlightenment or salvation.

   But these seekers, too, are saved - by virtue of the inherited symbolic aids of society, the rites of passage, the grace-yielding sacraments, given to mankind of old by the redeemers and handed down through millenniums.
