Saying, literally it is:

Who doesn't have the sky inside of him will look for it through the universe with no reason.

I guess there is a saying in English which better follows this one but I don't know it

Guys check it out when you got some time
Thx!

What a beautiful idea! If I understand this correctly, it means something like "You will never find beauty outside yourself if you don't already possess it within you."
I understand the idea, I think, but I don't know if we have a proverb in English to reflect this exact notion...
The Zen Buddhists say
The Fire God comes searching for fire...

I can't think of one either.

Roller Coaster, if you want the points for this, please hurry up and do the translation!
(Maybe the figurative meaning in the Translation field, and the literal meaning in the Remarks section under it?)

Thanks Ian but I don't want the points... I wasn't sure about translation and just wanted to explain what it means...

Please be my guest

Okay! If you insist...
