never lose... never stop the know thyself~ congrats for being selected the poem as POD
Part 5: Kabirdas Contd: Why do you search God outside, just like an ignorant musk deer searching for the musk (emanating from its own body) in the grass? Instead, search Him, The Supreme Power inside you.
Sant Kabirdas said, "तेरा साँई तुझमें, ज्यों पहुपन में बास। कस्तूरी का हिरन ज्यों, फिर-फिर ढ़ूँढ़त घास॥" that is, Your God (the power that you search for) in within your self, as is the fragrance of a flower.
Part 2. Bhagavat Gita says " उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् । आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः" meaning By the self you should deliver the self, you should not depress and cast down the self; for the self is the friend of the self and the self is the enemy.
Marvellous poem, exuding tons of positive energy and enthusiasm. And no doubt, it is our internal energy that keeps us going! One need not and should not search it outside.
Great poem! ! Congratulations on POD. Love the first stanza! Great message throughout.
