Though He is near, He appears far away - and that is what makes one disturbed; says Kabir, listen, O wise one, by Guru alone is the confusion curbed. by Guru is the confusion curbed. tony

and even Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, really resides within one's self. I like this, God is the indwelling not the out dwelling, masterful poem, the theme is timeless of the search for inner truth.

God who is always within us is not seen by us. We keep on searching him in holy places afar like the musk deer wander searching musk. Poet Kabir is a wonderful gem of his period!

Though He is near, He appears far away - and that is what makes one disturbed; says Kabir, listen, O wise one, by Guru alone is the confusion curbed. /// superb mystical stanza// God is very near but far from our greedy mind which hankers after the worldly enjoyment////

It is a gift, that the Supreme Indestructible Being reveals Himself to those who will humbly take the time to listen. To discover that we do not have to spend a lifetime searching for HIm, for He is Emmanuel, God with us.

Lovely devotional song. God resides in the heart of a man but he, not aware of the truth, wanders from place to place in His pursuit. Thanks.

Though He is near, He appears far away and that is what makes one disturbed.; It is the riddle faced by common man through out the world. Thanks for sharing it here.
