ਹਰਿ ਅਗਮ ਅਗਾਹੁ ਅਗਾਧਿ ਨਿਰਾਲਾ ॥
har agam agaahu agaaDh niraalaa.
The Lord is inaccessible, inscrutable, unfathomable and unattached.
ਹਰਿ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਈਐ ਗੁਰ ਗੋਪਾਲਾ ॥
har ant na paa-ee-ai gur gopaalaa.
The Lord's limits cannot be found; the Guru is the Lord of the World.
ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਮਤਿ ਤਾਰੇ ਤਾਰਣਹਾਰਾ ਮੇਲਿ ਲਏ ਰੰਗਿ ਲੀਨਾ ਹੇ ॥੩॥
satgur mat taaray taaranhaaraa mayl la-ay rang leenaa hay. ||3||
Through the Teachings of the True Guru, the Lord carries us across to the other side. He unites in His Union those who are colored by His Love. ||3||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is deeper than any depth, past every edge our minds can find.
No one has ever reached the end of it, and yet it holds the whole world.
Following the Guru's wisdom, I am carried across life's wide water, and the One draws close everyone whose heart is coloured with love.
The One too vast to measure is still near enough to carry you across.
Agam agaahu agaaDh — unreachable, unfathomable, beyond all depth. The same One is gur gopaalaa, the Guru and Lord of the world, near enough to ferry us over. Those coloured (rang) with love are united.
A Question to Sit With
Can something be both far beyond you and very close at the same time?
