Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Maya has spread her net in the world. The fish are caught in it.
Even Brahma could not find the Lord's limit. The Vedas proclaim this: He is indefinable.
The entanglement is total and has existed from the beginning — even the creators of scriptures could not escape it.
The jaal (net) of Maya spread across the world — the fish (jeeai) caught without knowing they are caught. The image of being inside the net without knowing: this is how Maya operates. The caught fish does not experience itself as caught; it experiences itself as swimming.
"Even Brahma could not find God's limit" — Brahma, the creator deity, attempted to find the bottom of Vishnu's feet (in the famous Hindu myth) and failed. The Vedas themselves (kaho Vaidat pukaara) proclaim: the divine is indefinable. If even the scriptures say so, the limits of the divine cannot be found.
Do you think the divine is findable — that you could reach the end of what God is? Or is there something genuinely endless about it? What does endlessness feel like to you?
