Smaller than the Smallest
Transliteration
Anor aniyam mahato mahiyan
Atmasya jantor nihito guhayam.
Translation
Smaller than the smallest life,
larger than the infinite Vast,
The soul breathes in the secret heart of man.
Comment
The soul is God’s eternal child and man’s great-grandfather.
As God’s eternal child the soul unceasingly plays.
As man’s eternal grandfather the soul perpetually enjoys.
