Like the musk deer we are ignorant of the great gifts God has bestowed in us! We feel jealous seeing others' achievements hardly realizing that such possibilities are there within us too, only if we make use of them. What is needed first and foremost is the knowledge that there is so much of untapped potential within us. Unlike the musk deer that ran in vain initially to find out the source of fragrance, we should look within to find the source of rare gifts. A wonderful poem!

We have intellect powers within us unknowingly. We can know from others like Musk Deer. Last Stanza and graphic are much interesting. Beautiful.

Wah wah It reminded me the old poem I learned while in school: Kabir Doha कस्तूरी कुन्डल बसे, मृग ढूढै बन माहि । ऐसे घट-घट राम हैं, दुनिया देखे नाहि।। As well: Sanskrit Shloka. यदि सन्ति गुणा: पुंसां विकसन्त्येव ते स्वयम् न हि कस्तूरिकामोद: शपथेन विभाव्यते Excellent Poem: It opened a floodgate of my memories. Thanks for sharing it Geetaji 100+

Ma'am this stupendous. Beginning with young deer, I never thought it will have grandma and myself as the true character. We chase and pin point others virtue and often ignore our true virtue. Really touched my heart and quite inspirational.thankyou

An interesting Gabel retold with a modern description, I found the story both riveting and delightful. Deers are such lovely creatures, soulful and sensitive. Thank you for sharing!
