ज्यों नैनन में पुतली, त्यों मालिक घर माहिं I मुर्ख लोग न जानिए, बाहर ढूंढत जाहिं II
God dwells deep within each and every heart. This may lead to the following question: "If that's the case, then why He is not seen or experienced by the majority of us?" It's because the mind of the majority of us is not inside! It's extroverted: unceasingly wandering outside. We unavailingly look for God in external images, pictures, religious books, tangible and physical things, habitual reading or hearing of the scriptures, music, and so on. The Truth is however very Subtle, Pure and Sublime; hence, it cannot be caught by such mental circus of ours. Only those "rare" ones who have attained God Realisation can catch God inside! For the rest of us, although God is said to be inside, He remains aloof.
"Kabir says, just like the pupil in the eye sees the world around but cannot know how it looks, the ignorance makes the person 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. He keeps on looking for it outside but in vain.
