Revision history [back]

I am new to the Sikh faith and have begun listening to the three daily prayers everyday for the past 3 weeks. This has remarkably altered my outlook on life in a way I never thought possible and I am eager to learn more.

Anyways I would like some clarification on the following passage in Kirtan Sohila:

You have thousands of eyes, and yet You have no eyes. You have thousands of forms, and yet You do not have even one. You have thousands of Lotus Feet, and yet You do not have even one foot. You have no nose, but you have thousands of noses. This Play of Yours entrances me. ||2||

I'll tell you what I think and then the questions that I have. After reading this the first thought that comes to my mind is the idea that God is being described as having many forms but I am confused as to why this particular format was chosen? How come every line has a contradiction immediately after it: "You have thousands of eyes, and yet You have no eyes." Was this effect intended to emphasize that God is incomprehensible to us?

I'm sure any insight into this passage would help me understand it more. As I am new to Sikhism, I apologize if my interpretation has offended anyone, please feel free to correct any mistakes.
