I. 104. aisā lo nahīn taisā lo

O how may I ever express that secret word ?

O how can I say He is not like this, and He is like that ?

If I say that He is within me, the universe is ashamed:

If I say that He is without me, it is falsehood.

He makes the inner and the outer worlds to be indivisibly one;

The conscious and the unconscious, both are His footstools.

He is neither manifest nor hidden, He is neither revealed nor unrevealed:

There are no words to tell that which He is.
