Without and within (all) beings the unmoving and also the moving; because of Its subtlety, unknowable; and near and far away is That.

It is outside and inside all beings, unmoving and moving. Being subtle, it cannot be known; it is far away and it is near.

More paradoxes follow. Brahman is both outside and within all beings, both the still and the moving. It is so subtle that it cannot be grasped as an object, and it is at once far away and very near. The pairing of far and near echoes language from the Upanishads. To one who looks outward for it, it seems infinitely distant; to one who looks within, it is closer than anything. The verse does not mean that Brahman cannot be realised at all, but that it cannot be known in the way objects are known.
