When a seeker voluntarily and regularly makes sacrifices through the body, mind and wealth with a ‘Nishkaam Bhav’ (without any kind of expectation) only to seek divine grace, in the form of Sadhana (spiritual practice) for several years without any external motivation, such a person is called a Saadhak( seeker). Till such time ups and downs continue to come in the midst of Sadhana and also one requires motivation at an intellectual level from time to time, we cannot call ourselves Saadhak. – Tanuja Thakur
