The Way is Within

Where do you go to seek Him?
He is refulgent within the home.
I have left all pilgrimages, fasts and charities.
Giving up the worship of water and stone,
I have risen and merged within my Self.
Having turned my back on lust and anger,
I have attained everlasting bliss.
Setting fire to avarice and attachment,
I have sundered the bonds of karma.
Having triumphed after hunger and thirst,
I have renounced all worldly desire.
Having immersed in the Melody within,
I have threaded the needle of Shabd with soul.
Keep to the path firmly,
O Paltu, do not leave the company of saints.
Where do you go to seek Him?
He is refulgent within the home.
_{Isaac Ezekiel, Saint Paltu}
