Infinite Vision · Beyond Beginning and End

ॐ

अनेकबाहूदरवक्त्रनेत्रं पश्यामि त्वां सर्वतोऽनन्तरूपम् । नान्तं न मध्यं न पुनस्तवादिं पश्यामि विश्वेश्वर विश्वरूप ॥

anekabāhūdaravaktranetraṁ paśyāmi tvāṁ sarvato'nantarūpam, nāntaṁ na madhyaṁ na punas tavādiṁ paśyāmi viśveśvara viśvarūpa.

Meaning

"I see You with countless arms, bellies, mouths, and eyes, infinite in form on every side; O Lord of the universe, O universal form, I see no end, no middle, and no beginning of You."

Explanation

Something truly infinite resists being framed by a clear start or finish—it simply extends beyond every boundary the mind tries to set.

Today's Life Lesson

Let go today of needing to see the whole picture at once—some truths reveal themselves slowly, without edges.
