Having smell of the Deer's Musk
The Deer himself become obsessed but
it is truely not an easy task
to identify the source of smell clear-cut.
Ah deer! Oh dear! where that's hidden you think!
The Musk developed in his navel region
but he is running here and there
restless shameless, as mad, off and on,
not having informed the smell brings air.
Madness of love would have not been come out
If he were informed!
It is within him in fact!
O deer
That's why you are a lover of the true incense
The truth within you the Musk- the true essence.

(It is a similitude, a story of love of 'Know thyself'. Here, the Deer is a symbol of 'being'. And the Musk symbolizes 'Perfect being'.)

Dear Sc, Depicts nicely the search for ones self the inner/soul....... the beauty and fragrance exist in one but to realize it is the venture.... rgrds/salu
Nice spiritual thoughts. Sant Kabirdas wrote the following two lines around 1450; 'Kasthuri Kundali Basai, Mriga doondai vanamaahi Aisi khadi khadi Ram hai, Dunia Dekhai naahi.' It is identical to your writing.
very nice poem, if only we realize the greatness in us we need not go round mad searching for it from somewhere outside

Since the title is general, the explanation at the end focuses the reader at gives to him the poems purpose. This is good because clarity of purpose makes reading and understanding clear. The search for such Musk may take you to bad places. The wisdom of all things begins with self-wisdom. Without that, truth is elusive. A knowledge that each deer must acquire. GW62
