तेरा साँई तुझमें , ज्यों पहुपन में बास। कस्तूरी का हिरन ज्यों , फिर-फिर ढ़ूँढ़त

तेरा साँई तुझमें , ज्यों पहुपन में बास। कस्तूरी का हिरन ज्यों , फिर-फिर ढ़ूँढ़त घास॥ 95॥

— Kabir

Meaning

Your Lord resides within you, like a scent in the wild. Like a musk deer, it constantly searches for grass.

Explanation

Kabir uses the beautiful metaphor of the musk deer and the scent itself. He points out that the Lord resides within us, like the natural fragrance of musk. Yet, the deer, despite carrying the scent, perpetually searches for grass outside. This highlights humanity's tendency to look for spiritual truth or divinity in external places, missing the truth right inside the self.
