Your Lord resides within you, like a scent in the wild. Like a musk deer, it constantly searches for grass.

Kabir uses the beautiful metaphor of the musk deer and the scent itself. He points out that the Lord resides within us, like the natural fragrance of musk. Yet, the deer, despite carrying the scent, perpetually searches for grass outside. This highlights humanity's tendency to look for spiritual truth or divinity in external places, missing the truth right inside the self.
