ਆਪੇ ਸੂਰੁ ਕਿਰਣਿ ਬਿਸਥਾਰੁ ॥
aapay soor kiran bisthaar.
He Himself is the sun, and the rays emanating from it.
ਸੋਈ ਗੁਪਤੁ ਸੋਈ ਆਕਾਰੁ ॥੨॥
so-ee gupat so-ee aakaar. ||2||
He is concealed, and He is revealed. ||2||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
He Himself is the sun, and the rays streaming from it.
He is hidden, and He is revealed.
Like the sun and its light, the One is the hidden source and the visible shining at once.
Another image of source-and-emanation: "He Himself is the sun, and the rays emanating from it." The One is both the hidden source and the visible light it pours out — "concealed, and... revealed" at once. Hidden in essence, shown in every ray.
A Question to Sit With
How can something be both hidden and clearly shown at the same time?
