I tried to find Him on the Christian cross,
but He was not there;
I went to the Temple of the
Hindus and to the old pagodas,
Hindus and to the old pagodas,
but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys
but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him.
I went to the Ka'bah in Mecca,
but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but
He was beyond their understanding.
I then looked into my heart
but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but
He was beyond their understanding.
I then looked into my heart
and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him;
He was nowhere else to be found.
