One
of the classical symbols of Man trapped in ignorance is the symbol
of a deer which looks everywhere for fragrance, beauty and opportunity,
roaming the forests here and there, only to become tired and overwhelmed
and to realise that the real fragrance: the deer musk was always
within. This mythic model is found in many cultures, like the story
of Job finding diamonds within, or the opening of the door to the
heart in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. |
