"The Absolute Truth, Transcendence, is never subject to the understanding of imperfect sensory endeavor, nor is He subject to direct experience.

You are therefore the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/17/33
