它存在於一切眾生之內外，既不動亦動。因其精微，故不可知。它既遙遠，又近在咫尺。
Existing outside and inside all beings; moving as well as non-moving, It is incomprehensible due to subtleness. So also, It is far away, and yet near.
梵（Brahman）像虛空（Akasa）一樣精微。由於其極度精微，對於未開悟者來說是不可理解的。對於不具備四種解脫途徑的人來說，它是不可知的。梵（Brahman）為智者所知或所證悟。它為具備這些途徑的一流追求者所證悟。對於智者或開悟者來說，它是近在咫尺的，因為它是他們自身的自性（Atman）。對於沉溺於世俗或感官享樂的無知者來說，它是非常遙遠的。無知者或未開悟者即使經過數百萬年也無法達到它。「近在咫尺」和「遙遠」這種表達方式見於《伊莎奧義書》（Isavasya Upanishad）第五節和《蒙達卡奧義書》（Mundaka Upanishad）第三章第十七節。
Brahman is subtle like the ether. It is incomprehensible to the unillumined on account of Its extreme subtlety. It is unknowable to the man who is not endowed with the four means of salvation.Brahman is known or realised by the wise. It is realised by the first class aspirant who is eipped with these means. It is near to the wise man or the illumined because It is his very Self. It is very far to the ignorant man who is drowned in worldliness or sensual pleasures. It is not attainable by the ignorant or unenlightened even in millions of years.Near and far away This expression is found in the Isavasya Upanishad (5) and the Mundaka Upanishad (3.17).
