1. Don't you think it is rather difficult to describe with 100% accuracy a personality who is only bliss, his form, appearance, his sanatan abode, all this is infinite bliss & nothing else, who has infinite powers, and contains infinite mayic realms IN him, and yet, remains OUTSIDE any realm? His 'maya shakti' is contained in him, yet no mayic effort or enterprise can ever reach him, because he is the Lord who is always beyond any of his power, such as maya. Only He could describe himself properly, and He did that in Gita, when Lord Krishna summarized the entire Vedic literature in TWO WORDS, and he told Arjun i.e. all of us, "VASUDEV SARVAM" i.e. I am everything, and nothing ever exists, or can exist, except me. While bhakts do understand this fact easily, explaining it to laypersons is not easy.
2. Another point is, He is infinite. And you know very well that infinity β infinity = infinity. So even if you're a God realized bhakt, if you'll start describing Shri Ram to another person, you can describe Ram for an infinite time, and still infinite things about Him will be left unexplained.
That's what the poet is saying here.
OK, a quiz for you. π
There are three basic conclusions for 'jeev' to remember.
1. He is unchanging, because he is a chaitanya power of a personality who is unchanging.
2. It is his ignorance that he is related to mayic creation, but the fact is, he can never have any relation with mayic world, because being chaitanya power, unlike maya, his only sanatan never-changing relation is with his source i.e. ParBrahm.
3. Being in no way related to maya, a jeev may remember this mayic realm, or forget it, it will have no effect on 'jeev's' existence or well-being.
Now the thing is, to experience all three of these Vedic conclusions, there is no need to read any book, listen to any discourse, do any research, exert any effort. Every human being, everyone, experiences these three facts, everyday! Its another matter that no one pays any attention to his/her own experiences. Can you tell us how EVERY human experience these three basic facts EVERYDAY? π

Look, while the answer is in everyday experiences, nobody interprets them the way we'll do now until someone tells them. Even I never noticed what I'm about to tell you until someone else told me. (And you know who told me. Remember my message from yesterday?)So, if you need more time to think, tell me, otherwise tell me to type the answer. π
