Maybe Something We Remember

It seems to me that we are looking for truth, love, joy or peace and fulfilling relationships from outside of us. It comes from within. We tend to forget that what we are looking for is right in front of our eyes.There is a beautiful saying in Sanskrit ''Tad dure tad antike." What seems to be far is right now in front of me." We live in illusion. There is a beautiful poem that conveys this truth. A musk deer wandering on the Himalayan mountains is searching for the enchanting fragrance he is smelling. The deer travels here and there . He is looking for the source of the fragrance. The deer does not know that the fragrance is coming from his navel center. Sadly we get tired of looking for the fragrance from outside. We need to open our eyes to see that joy, happiness and love come from within. Namaste. Jagdish P Dave
