A Aniruddha Pathak

As oil dwells deep seed prone,
As is fire in a flint-stone,
God dwells in every man,
O awake if ye can.

Hereunder is given the original doha, a couplet by Kabeer, which when rendered in English takes all of four lines, a quatrain or more:
Jaise til mein tel hai, jyon chakmak mein aag
Tera sayeen tujh mein hai, tu jaag sake to jaag
Think twice before doing anything that you should not. Never so feel that no one knows. God dwells closer in you than you think, ponder on this and be aware. How close does God dwell in every person? Kabeer gives two beautiful examples.
