जैसे तील में तेल है, ज्यों चकमक में आग I तेरा साई तुझमें है, तू जाग सके तो जाग II
Going Within is the ultimate search, the simplest and the shortest. However, being infected with the virus of body-consciousness ("I, me, mine, your"), we give attention to everything but ourselves. The deer, for example, is known for searching musk in the bushes. In reality, the musk is stored within the deer's navel, but in its illusioned state of mind the deer keeps searching it outside. Similarly, even though the Spirit, the source of Truth-Knowledge-Bliss, dwells within us, we keep searching Him in the gross objects of the outer world. Just like the deer we also wander around in the wilderness of doubts caused by Maya's deception. In reality, it is all hidden within. If we want to change the picture on the television screen, we simply change the channel or station, we do not change the picture tube. Similarly, all we need to do is set our vision right. If we can change our vision, no other change is necessary. Since we suffer from mental delusion, we need to clarify our minds, purify our hearts, and sanctify our lives. In other words, we need to remove our whims, fancies or egoism.
"Kabir says, God dwells within us just like oil is inherent in sesame seeds or light is Inevitable as fire flares."
