ਪਉੜੀ ੧੬

paurree 16

ਵੇਦ ਕਤੇਬਹੁ ਬਾਹਰਾ ਲੇਖ ਅਲੇਖ ਨ ਲਖਿਆ ਜਾਈ ।

ved katebahu baaharaa lekh alekh na lakhiaa jaaee |

God is beyond Vedas and katebas (holy books of Semitic religions) and He cannot be visualized.

ਰੂਪੁ ਅਨੂਪੁ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਹੈ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਦ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਅਗੋਚਰ ਭਾਈ ।

roop anoop acharaj hai darasan drisatt agochar bhaaee |

His form is grand and awe-inspiring. He is beyond the reach of body organs.

ਇਕੁ ਕਵਾਉ ਪਸਾਉ ਕਰਿ ਤੋਲੁ ਨ ਤੁਲਾਧਾਰ ਨ ਸਮਾਈ ।

eik kavaau pasaau kar tol na tulaadhaar na samaaee |

He created this cosmos by His one big bang which cannot be weighed on any scale.

ਕਥਨੀ ਬਦਨੀ ਬਾਹਰਾ ਥਕੈ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਈ ।

kathanee badanee baaharaa thakai sabad surat liv laaee |

He is indescribable and many a man in order to reach Him has got tired by putting their consciousness into the Word.

ਮਨ ਬਚ ਕਰਮ ਅਗੋਚਰਾ ਮਤਿ ਬੁਧਿ ਸਾਧਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਥਕਿ ਪਾਈ ।

man bach karam agocharaa mat budh saadh sojhee thak paaee |

Being beyond the ken of mind, speech, and action, the wisdom, intellect and all practices have also left hope of catching hold of Him.

ਅਛਲ ਅਛੇਦ ਅਭੇਦ ਹੈ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਛਾਈ ।

achhal achhed abhed hai bhagat vachhal saadhasangat chhaaee |

Undeceivable, beyond time and non dual, the Lord is kind to devotees and pervades through the holy congregation.

ਵਡਾ ਆਪਿ ਵਡੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ।੧੬।

vaddaa aap vaddee vaddiaaee |16|

He is great and His grandeur is also great
