Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Everyone says that the oneness is the greatest of the great. No one calls it smaller than it is.
But no one can actually say what it is worth. And speaking about it doesn't make it bigger.
You are the One True Master of all the other beings, of so many worlds.
This one says that praise doesn't make the One any bigger. The One is already as great as can be.
Sabh ko aakhai bahut bahut: "Everyone says, 'So great, so great!'" Ghat na aakhai ko-ay: "No one calls the One any less."
Keemat kinai na paa-ee-aa kahan na vadaa ho-ay: "No one has found the One's worth. Saying it doesn't make the One greater."
Think of the ocean. You can stand on the beach and shout, "You're huge!" The ocean doesn't get one drop bigger. It is exactly as big as it was.
That is a lesson in being humble, for everyone who talks about the One. We argue, we explain, we praise. The One stays exactly who the One is.
So why praise at all? Because our words are for us. Praising changes the one who praises. It turns our heart toward what is truly great.
Why do you think people sing or pray or make art about things that are beyond words? What's the point of trying?
