The musk deer searches through the forest trees
For the fragrance that will enchant and please.
But all the while it searches, never knowing
From its own nature, the musk is blowing.
So too the Lord is within every being but outside we
seek Him.
We seek Him and live without seeing.
The limitless is not limited to any space,
His presence pervades in every place.
For those who know the Lord, He's near at hand,
Close to those He will always stand.
For those who insist far away the Lord must be,
No doubt very distant from those is He.
The Lord is far away, my old thoughts had begun,
But now I know the Lord abides in everyone.
For those who know not who they truly are,
Although the Lord is close by,
For them He is quite far.
Leaving their fields
where they have been plowing,
Men gather at temples for ritual bowing.
But the Lord does dwell within your heart,
Enter His temple and never depart.
