The trackless One — like a bird's flight, a fish's swim, a mirage — yet seated in the mind.
The Arc
The One arrives unseen and sits in the mind, spotless and fragrant (P0); indescribable, self-existent, without ancestry (P1). Three images of the trackless follow — the bird's path in the sky and the fish's in the water (P2), and the mirage (P3) — gathered to mark the limits of defining, while the One remains intimately near.
Key Vocabulary
"no one saw Him come" — the One's unobservable, intimate arrival (P0).
"no ancestors" — self-existent, derived from nothing (P1).
bird / fish / mirage — three images of the trackless (P2–P3).
Themes and Cross-Connections
This is apophatic (negative-theology) devotion — naming likenesses only to dissolve them — kin to Nanak's "heard one thing, understood another" (B00C1049) and the Formless-One verses of the Vaars (B00C1080 P51). The self-existent One (P1) matches B00C1080 P2.
For Raag Goojaree
Naam Dayv gives the raag its most exquisite meditation on the ungraspable: the One leaves no track the eye can follow, and yet slips unseen into the mind — beyond all catching, nearer than knowing.
