Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The extent of Your Command cannot be seen. No one knows how to write it.
Even if a hundred poets met together, they could not describe even a tiny bit of it.
No one has found Your Value. They all merely write what they have heard.
This one says the One is too great for all the words in the world.
Jay sa-o saa-ir maylee-ah: "even if a hundred poets got together," they could not describe even a tiny bit. The problem is not that the poets lack skill. Even the best poets, working all together, could never do it. The One is simply too big to fit into words.
Imagine trying to fit the whole ocean into a bucket. More buckets will not help.
And still, sabh sun sun aakhahi so-ay: "they all write what they have heard, again and again." People keep speaking and singing about the One. Why? Because pointing still helps. When a friend points at the moon, their finger cannot reach it. But it helps you look up and see it.
Have you ever tried to describe something beautiful or profound and felt that your words were completely inadequate? What was that like?
