Beyond Reach, and Beautiful

ਤੇਰਾ ਰੂਪੁ ਅਗੰਮੁ ਹੈ ਅਨੂਪੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਦਰਸਾਰਾ ॥
tayraa roop agamm hai anoop tayraa darsaaraa.
Your Form is inaccessible, and Your Vision is incomparably beautiful.
ਹਉ ਕੁਰਬਾਣੀ ਤੇਰਿਆ ਸੇਵਕਾ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਿਆਰਾ ॥੩॥
ha-o kurbaanee tayri-aa sayvkaa jinH har naam pi-aaraa. ||3||
I am a sacrifice to Your servants; they love Your Name, O Lord. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

You are beyond where thought can reach, and the sight of You is beautiful beyond compare.

I am moved to gladness by those who love Your Name and live close to it.

What is beyond reach can still be seen and loved.
The deeper layer

tayraa roop agamm hai anoop tayraa darsaaraa — Your form is unreachable, Your vision beyond compare; ha-o kurbaanee tayri-aa sayvkaa jinH har naam pi-aaraa — I am a sacrifice to Your servants who love the Name. Awe at the One, gladness at those who love.

A Question to Sit With

What is something too big to fully understand that you still love?
