II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

कस्तूरी कुंडलि बसे, मृग ढूंढ़े वन माहिं I
ऐसे घट-घट राम है, दुनिया देखे नाहि II

There once was a Musk Deer who very early in her life began to notice this heavenly scent in the air. Intoxicated by its smell, the Deer set out to search for the source of this divine aroma. She searched high and low and every where she went she could smell it lightly in the air, but its source always eluded her. She searched the depths of every forrest, smelled around every tree, tasting every blade of grass and still couldn't discover where this scent was coming from. She remained determined because the scent was so glorious she knew deep down that she would be profoundly happy once she finally found it.
She ended up devoting her entire life to her search and one day fell exhausted onto the forest floor. As she fell one of her horns pierced her own belly. Suddenly the air was overwhelmingly flooded with this divine heavenly scent. After a lifetime of searching, in the presence of the final moments of her precious life she realized the scent was coming from her naval.

"Kabir says, Musk Deer and it's search for the musk smell is a wonderful analogy for "searching outside for what is within." We seek to be happy, to find the source of our happiness somewhere out there in the world. We search tirelessly to discover it. However all that we seek is right here. We are the source of our peace, happiness and wellbeing."
