नो वेद्यवेदकमिदं न च हेतुत वाचामगोचरमिदं न मनो न बुद्धिः । एवं कथं हि भवतः कथयामि तत्त्वं ज्ञानामृतं समरसं गगनोपमोऽहम् ॥१७॥
Brahman is neither the knower nor the knowable. It is beyond speculation and logical reasoning. It is beyond the cognizance of speech, mind, and intellect. Then how can I tell you about Brahman-the Ultimate Reality? I am Existence-Knowledge-Bliss and boundless as space.
