The Dichotomy Cycle of Mysticism

Another conundrum: Although I know what the Dalai means when he says that Eastern philosophy accepts more that doesn’t fit into the logical / reasoning / “have to have an answer” ORDER of the Western approach.  Then why am I so focused on finding out more about it?

I want to understand Eastern philosophy and why, as the Dalai puts it: That if you lose an object in a room, you have to search and search and search until you find it. If you don’t find it, then you don’t understand. You cannot accept that it is not in the room.
