Take two fingers, either hand, and place them on your neck, either side. Right there on your carotid artery. Feel something? God is closer to you than that – every beat.
Now take a breath, inhale once, hold it for just one second, and exhale. Easy enough? God is closer to you than that.
Need I say more? Good - I'll hand this back over to Kabir, version by Robt. Bly:
"I laugh when I hear the fish in the water is thirsty.
You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is
inside your own house;
and so you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look!
Kabir will tell you the truth: Go wherever you like,
to Calcutta or Tibet;
If you can't find where your soul is hidden, for you the world will
never be real!"
