Look inwards <br />- - - - - - - - - <br />Turned upside down <br />No stone unturned left <br />And have swept the heaven <br />But nowhere found <br />All through life <br />What he wished and longed for <br />This is not a thing material <br />That is visible <br />And can be found everywhere <br />At the cost you wish to pay for <br />In philosophies abstract <br />And in truths abstruse <br />Interested are a very few <br />When you say <br />Be still and know the peace within <br />Instead of looking outside for happiness <br />Look for consciousness <br />Behind the consciousness <br />And experience infinite bliss within <br />Like a Himalayan musk deer <br />You are running hither and thither <br />Worn out and dying <br />Searching for the source <br />Of the musk fragrance <br />Scarcely realizing that <br />The musk smell <br />Originating from within <br />Still hoping against hope <br />I see a slender ray of light <br />Creeping from your solemn heart <br />That betokens an ampler dawn <br />Suffusing you with infinite light<br /><br />DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/look-inwards-2/
