ज्यों नैनन में पुतली, त्यों मालिक घर माहिं I मूर्ख लोग न जानिए, बाहर ढुंढत जाहिं II
God dwells deep within each and every heart. This may lead to the 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 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 pupil in the eye sees the world around but cannot know how it looks, ignorance makes the person unaware of the essence of the absolute reality ever present within his own body just like the deer is unaware of the presence of musk within his body. He keeps on searching for it outside but in vain."
