बहिरन्तश्च भूतानामचरं चरमेव च । सूक्ष्मत्वात्तदविज्ञेयं दूरस्थं चान्तिके च तत् ॥ १५ ॥
bahir antaśh cha bhūtānām acharaṁ charam eva cha sūkṣhmatvāt tad avijñeyaṁ dūra-sthaṁ chāntike cha tat
Translation
It is outside and inside all beings, unmoving and also moving. Being subtle, it cannot be grasped; it is far away and also near.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
वह सब प्राणियों के बाहर और भीतर है, अचर भी है और चर भी। सूक्ष्म होने के कारण वह जानने में नहीं आता; वह दूर भी है और पास भी।
Commentary
"Far and near" echoes the Isha Upanishad (verse 5): tad dure tad v antike. Brahman is far from those who look for it outside themselves, and nearer than anything to those who look within. It is avijneya, "not graspable," not because it is hidden but because it is too subtle to be taken as an object.
