dattaswami2 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 God is known as unknown Amatam Matamiti Shruyate Giyate cha. (God is known as unknown. This is said in Veda and in Gita also) Veda says that angels and sages came to know only one point about the God after long hectic discussions. That single point is that God is unknown (Yasyaamatam Tasyamatam…). Even Gita says that no body knows anything about God (Mamtu veda Nakaschana.). Therefore, the unimaginable nature of God is clearly established by the sacred scriptures. The unimaginable nature of God is elaborated in Veda by various statements Aamnaaya Vistarat cha. (The unimaginable nature of God is elaborated in Veda by various statements). Veda clearly elaborates the unimaginable nature of God through the following statements: Words cannot give knowledge of God (Yatovaachah, Na tatra vaak…). Even mind cannot touch God (Apraapya Manasaa Saha). Intelligence cannot reach God (Namedhayaa, Yo Buddheh Paratah..). You cannot understand God through logic (Naishaa Tarkena…, Atarkyah..). Senses cannot grasp God (Nachakshushaa…, Aprameyah…, Atindriyam….). All these statements have elaborated the concept of unimaginable nature of God by any means.
