Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
All the most intuitive people who ever lived — the ones who could sense what others couldn't, who meditated for years, who could appraise the deepest things — they all got together. They tried and tried to describe the greatness of the oneness.
The best they could do was say: we cannot describe even a tiny fraction of it.
All the spiritual teachers, the teachers of teachers — they couldn't do it either.
This shabad systematically closes every escape route the ego uses to claim ownership of the divine. Not even the most accomplished, most intuitive, most spiritually developed human beings can describe even one tiny part of the oneness's greatness. This is not pessimism. It is the liberation of removing a false ceiling.
When you stop trying to contain the oneness in your understanding, you stop being separate from it. The limitation was never the oneness — it was the idea that the self could stand apart and describe it.
Have you ever known something with your whole body or heart that you couldn't put into words? What was that like?
