He Himself praises Himself.
ਤੇਰੇ ਗੁਣ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਤੁਝ ਹੀ ਮਾਹੇ ॥
tayray gun parabh tujh hee maahay.
Your Glorious Virtues are within You alone, God.
ਤੂ ਆਪਿ ਸਚਾ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਚੀ ਆਪੇ ਅਲਖੁ ਅਥਾਹਾ ਹੇ ॥੧੪॥
too aap sachaa tayree banee sachee aapay alakh athaahaa hay. ||14||
You Yourself are True, and True is the Word of Your Bani. You Yourself are invisible and unknowable. ||14||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the glory belongs to the One and shines from within the One alone.
You are True and Your Word is true, even though You cannot be seen or fully known.
The One is real and true even beyond all we can see or know.
The infinite is fittingly praised only by itself. The One is True and yet unknowable, alakh, both held together.
A Question to Sit With
Can something be real even if you cannot see it? What?
