In order to know Him, people put in extreme efforts but could not know His extant.

Those who went out to know His bounds could never return.

To know Him, myriads of people have remained wandering in illusions.

That primeval Lord is the grand wonder whose mystery cannot be understood by mere listening.

His waves, shades etc are limitless.

I am sacrifice unto that creator, whose maya is this creation.

The Guru has made me understand that God alone knows about His own self (none else can know Him).
