Mrig Trishna - A desire to keep searching for something which we already have nearby.
This desire has been explained by many seers, saints, story tellers and philosophers.
Some of us keep searching for something which we already possess, or which talent or knowledge is already within us, or something which is already nearby within our reach.
Poets have explained this by constant search of aKasturi Mrig ( A kind of deer) for a sweet fragrance, which this Kasturi Mrig already is already possessing source of fragrance in its belly button !
In search of this fragrance, the deer keeps searching in jungle for its whole life, never knowing that fragrance was coming out only from its own belly button.
The poets say that many of us have this instinct, or habit or a fallacy built in within us.
When we gain this knowledge of this Kadturi Mrig Mistake, our pursuit of happiness or fragrance is over. We feel at peace and completeness within us. We feel as if we have arrived at our destination. We suddenly notice and find that talent, skill, or means of becoming rich for which we were searching, are there, already nearby and within our reach !
A paradigm shift takes place the moment we can clearly see our Mrig Trishna !
See if you too are chasing any such Mrig-Trishna.
What you are searching all over world, may be already within you or may be just nearby within your reach !
