कस्तुरी कुंडल बसे, मृग ढुंढे बन माही I ऐसे घट घट राम है, दुनियां देखे नाहिं II
It's not that God is only within, He is also everywhere equally, omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Yet He is not seen or experienced by the majority of us because our mind under the overwhelming influence of false ego sense unceasingly wanders outside. To realize Him however as such, He first needs to be realized within. From there the search can expand without. For seeing God in all things (including within) and knowing all beings as one's own Self is Realization. The Truth is very Subtle, Pure and Sublime; hence, it cannot be caught by such mental circus of ours. Blinded by ignorance the materialistic person is unaware of the Essence of the Absolute Reality ever present within his own body just as the deer is unaware of the presence of musk within his body. Going Within is the ultimate search, the simplest and the shortest. However, in the powerful grip of ("I, me, mine, your"), we give attention to everything but ourselves. We need not search It outside, because we are what we are looking for! It is here, at this very moment, Within!
Kabir says, just like deer searches musk everywhere except it's navel where it lies, we search Lord Ram everywhere outside before Realising Him within."
