Ek Jyot Saagar Ho Ranya, Aur Upar Tale Sab Jot
Kai Soor Ude Aage Kankri, Tin Bhom Ki Jot Udot
(Saagar 1/35)

The entire Mool Milawa is so brilliant that even one particle has more light than thousands of suns put together. Surrounding them, are immense oceans (the word ocean is used to express size, depth, vastness). There is one ocean in each direction - East, West, North, South, Northeast, Southwest, etc. From Parmatma's divine brilliant face arises Noor Sagar (Ocean of Light). From the beauty of all the divine souls arises Neer Sagar (ocean of clear, pure water). The third is created by the unity of all the souls (called Kshir or Doodh Saagar - the Milky Way). The fourth Saagar is created by the beauty and splendour of Shyam and Shyamaji. A very beautiful description of Shyamaji can be found here. The fifth ocean is of Love. There are only two things in Paramdham - brilliance and love - they are prevalent everywhere. The way to see God's brilliance is only through love. The sixth is an ocean of knowledge (Brahma Gyaan). Just a drop of this ocean has created all the religious scriptures, the entire knowledge that we have in the world today. All the written and spoken words are due to this drop of Lord's knowledge. The seventh ocean represents the supreme union (Nisbat) between the Lord and the souls. The eighth ocean is God's immense grace (Kripa). Everywhere we see His grace, the whole world was created due to His grace. We came here, got lost, that is His grace. And it is His grace that will re-awaken us.
