The Musk-Deer


Daily Divine Digest Philosophical Thought for Everyday 

The Musk-Deer


         Our senses are so constituted that we seek for substances extraneous to us. They are of no use for self-analysis.

      The musk-deer produces musk in its own body. But in search of the fragrance of that stuff, it wanders about. Man’s position is akin to it. He has divinity enshrined in himself. But seeks for it in regions other than himself.

Lord, when shall I clarify my understanding realize your presence in me?

-          Tayumanavar
