The fish cannot find the limits of the water.

You are Inaccessible and Unfathomable, the Highest of the High.
ਹਮ ਥੋਰੇ ਤੁਮ ਬਹੁਤ ਮੂਚ ॥੩॥

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
O One, You are skilled in every power.
A fish can never find where the water ends.
You are beyond reach, beyond knowing, higher than the highest.
I am small, and You are so very great.
You can rest safely inside something far bigger than you.
The One is endless, the way the water is endless to a fish, and you live held inside that vastness.
antt na paavahi jaleh meen — the fish never finds the water's limit. ham thoray tum bahut mooch — I am small, You are great; the vastness is a shelter.
A Question to Sit With
How can something much bigger than you make you feel safe instead of scared?
