ਤਾ ਕਾ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਜਾਣੈ ਕੋਈ ॥
taa kaa ant na jaanai ko-ee.
No one knows His limits.
ਪੂਰੇ ਗੁਰ ਤੇ ਸੋਝੀ ਹੋਈ ॥
pooray gur tay sojhee ho-ee.
This understanding comes from the Perfect Guru.
ਨਾਨਕ ਸਾਚਿ ਰਤੇ ਬਿਸਮਾਦੀ ਬਿਸਮ ਭਏ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੬॥੩॥੧੫॥
naanak saach ratay bismaadee bisam bha-ay gun gaa-idaa. ||16||3||15||
O Nanak, those who are attuned to the Truth are wonderstruck; singing His Glorious Praises, they are filled with wonder. ||16||3||15||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
No one can ever find the edge of the One.
This understanding comes as a gift from the Perfect Guru.
Nanak says: those whose hearts soak up the truth are struck with wonder, and they sing with amazement, the way you feel when something too big for words takes your breath away.
The right response to the One is wonder.
'Bismaad' is wonder and awe. It is the very heart of the word Waheguru: the breath-taking amazement of seeing what was always there. The right response to the boundless One is to be filled with wonder.
A Question to Sit With
When has something felt so big and beautiful it took your breath away?
