Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is beyond reach and beyond figuring out. The One is everywhere at once, in every mind and body, endless and unseen.
When the Guru is kind, then that unseen One is seen, right inside my own heart.
The One who cannot be seen is seen inside the heart.
Agam agochar means beyond reach and beyond the senses. Alakh means unseen and unknowable. The verse holds a beautiful puzzle. The One is too vast to be seen anywhere. Yet when the Guru is kind, gur kirpaal bhay, the One is seen within the heart: hirdai alakh lakhaaree.
Think of WiFi. It fills the whole house, but you can't see it anywhere. Then your phone lights up with a connection. Vastness and nearness turn out to be the same thing.
How can something be everywhere and inside you at the same time?
