Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One is beyond our reach — so tell me, how could we ever find it?
It has no shape, no outline, nothing our eyes can catch — so how would we even hold it in mind?
Formless, spotless, past all grasping — which of its endless qualities could we even begin to sing?
And yet: the ones the One awakens are the very ones who find the path.
The teaching itself shows it to you — it is met by walking the way it points.
A Pauri of Guru Ram Das built as a set of honest questions. so har purakh agamm hai — the One is agamm, unreachable by ordinary means; it has no roop na raykh (form or feature). The questions are real, not rhetorical, and the answer is not a technique but an opening: jis aap bujhaa-ay aap — the One reveals itself to the heart it awakens, and gur poorai vaykhaali-aa — the teaching makes it visible. This matches the project's lens on Gurprasad: the formless is not found by climbing up to it, but by becoming open enough to notice it revealing itself.
Is there something real that you can feel or know even though you can't see it or hold it?
