Meaning

It's, like, *everywhere*, fam. Inside and outside everything, moving and still. It's, like, super subtle and, like, impossible to grasp. It's both super close and, like, *miles* away.

Commentary

Brahman is lowkey like, *super* subtle, like, you know, the vibes. It's, like, totally incomprehensible to anyone who ain't woke, because it's so subtle. It's, like, unknowable to anyone who hasn't, like, *mastered* the four paths to salvation. But, like, the wise peeps? They get it. The OG spiritual gurus? They're, like, totally connected to it, because it's their whole self. But for peeps who are, like, totally obsessed with the material world and all that drama? Brahman is, like, *so* far away. It's, like, unreachable for those who are not enlightened, even if they try for, like, a million years. The 'near and far' thing? That's, like, a total throwback to the Isavasya and Mundaka Upanishads.
