Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The Eternal God is All-Powerful, the Creator of all.
He has no end or limit. What should I say about His extent?
His vastness exceeds every description. And yet He dwells within every heart.
The ajooni (unborn, beyond the cycle of birth and death), saibhan (self-existent, self-illumined) — the divine's qualities that make Him different from everything else in creation: everything in creation is born and dies; the divine is not born and does not die. Everything in creation depends on something else; the divine depends on nothing.
"What should I say about His extent?" — kiaa keecho — the rhetorical question of inexpressibility. The divine's greatness exceeds description; the honest response is to name the inability to name it fully.
Yet the dwelling is within the heart: the infinite resides in the intimate.
Does the divine feel huge and distant to you, or close and intimate? Or both? What affects which way it feels at any given moment?
