Simple living, simple thinking, and the mysteries of the world are solved!

The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde

Kabir – The couplet
????? ????? ????? ???, ??? ???? ? ?? ??? |
?? ??? ??????? ???, ?? ?? ???? ???? ||

transliterated:
Kabira gyan vichar bin, Hari dhoondan ko jaaye|
Tan mein Tirloki base, ab tak parkha naahi ||

Translation:
Without appropriate thought or knowledge, we look for God is all external spaces |
The truth is, God is inside us, but we perceive not the wonder inside! ||

My understanding:
We as humans have been gifted with the magic of rationality, reasoning and clear thought. However, we put all this aside the moment we are faced with any new question – and the quest for God is one of those timeless quests.

We search everywhere, when the simple reality is that he is the inner voice, the core of peace and understanding, the nub of clarity that exists in all of us. If only we still the noises of our crowding thoughts and external input for a sheer fleeting moment, we will find our personal God, and life will forever be changed with this realization.

Find that God inside, and find eternal peace and bliss.

True bliss is a right we were all born with – it is up to us to find and enjoy it!
