[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 62371, member: 4990"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]A lion cub became lost and wandered into a shepherd’s flock He was adopted and raised by the shepherd He played and moved with the sheep Never realizing his true nature A lion came from the forest Seeing this fully grown sheep-lion, He was amazed and angered He caught him firmly and at once explained the truth When the sheep-lion saw what he had become, he smiled The fragrance of the musk is embedded within the deer But the foolish animal runs hither and thither Searching for the source of the fragrance If only he could look within, He will find the fragrance within himself. Says Kabir – My being is centered in between ‘above’ and ‘below’, the splendorous experience is indescribable Listen, oh Aspirant! turn within and find your Self[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkorchid](The above verses of Kabir are from a [COLOR=darkred]non-sikh[/COLOR] website, therefore might not reflect Gurbani.
