When the Creator, sitting all by Himself, created the Universe, he did not consult with any of His servants;

I have taken the first line of the above that states that God created the world without the assistance of the Servant. The translation appears to be correct in the literal sense. However, it has a serious flaw as the Creator did not have any Sewaks to help HIM out. From the wording of the lines it appears that HE had some sewaks but HE preferred to create the creration HIMSELF.

In essence it should have meant that HE had no one to assist HIM as no one would be in a position to be Of HIS stature and no one is capable of being so. HE has no limitless and how could anyone become so high as to be of any assistance to HIM. It is just not feasible.

The following summarize some of the Attributes of the Lord.

jw krqw isrTI kau swjy Awpy jwxY soeI ] (4-19, jpu, mÚ 1)

The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows.

ikv kir AwKw ikv swlwhI ikau vrnI ikv jwxw ] (4-19, jpu, mÚ 1)
How can we speak of Him? How can we praise Him? How can we describe Him? How can we know Him?

The limits of the created universe cannot be perceived.

AMqu n jwpY pwrwvwru ] (5-8, jpu, mÚ 1)
Its limits here and beyond cannot be perceived.
