Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the old stories and wise books sing about the One.
Even the greatest and most powerful beings turn toward it — yet not one of them fully grasps its secret.
The verse makes a bold, humbling point: "Shiva and the three hundred thirty million gods meditate on the One, but they do not know the secret of His mystery." Even the mightiest beings of all the old stories — the gods themselves — turn toward the One and still can't fathom it fully. This is not mockery of any tradition; it's a way of saying the One is beyond everything, even the greatest powers we can imagine. The mystery is bigger than the biggest. For a child: the One is so deep and wonderful that even the greatest, most powerful beings can't fully understand it.
How does it feel to know some things are bigger and more wonderful than anyone can fully understand?
