क्व भूतं क्व भविष्यद्वा वर्तमानमपि क्व वा, क्व देशः क्व च वा नित्यं स्वमहिम्नि स्थितस्य मे। ॥1॥

kva bhūtaṁ kva bhaviṣyadvā vartamānamapi kva vā, kva deśaḥ kva ca vā nityaṁ svamahimni sthitasya me. (1)

This verse expresses a deep sense of self-awareness and inner peace, suggesting that when one truly recognizes their own greatness, concepts like time and space become irrelevant. It emphasizes the idea of being fully present and centered in one's own essence, beyond the limitations of past, future, and physical boundaries.
