Where have you been searching?

Where have you been searching for me, my friend?

I am right here..

I am not in a statue, I am not in a holy place;

I am not in a silent shrine either,

Neither am I in a temple, nor in a mosque..

Neither the Kaaba, nor the Kailash..

Where have you been searching for me, my friend?

I am right here..

I am not in chants, nor in meditations;

nor am I in rigorous fasts,

I am not in rituals;

Neither in yoga, nor in renunciation..

Where have you been searching for me, my friend?

I am right here..

If you look for me, you will find me instantly,

in a moment’s search..

Says Kabir, listen seekers,

I am in your faith (trust) , and in that faith (trust) alone..

This song always brings me back home.. in my own heart.. coz it reminds me to not search or seek oustide, but to come back in my own heart.. it reminds me that i can Just Be.. without all the restrictions, without what society tells me to be, without the limitations of mind or even body, without any rituals to be followed.
