Srimad Bhagavatam Absolute Truth is beyond the expression of mind and speech. Canto 1 Chapter 3 Text 35-38

Text 35 eva ṁ janmāni karmā ṇ i hy akartur ajanasya ca var ṇ ayanti sma kavayo veda-guhyāni h ṛ t-pate ḥ Thus learned men describe the births and activities of the unborn and inactive, which is undiscoverable even in the Vedic literatures. He is the Lord of the heart.

Both the Lord and the living entities are spiritual and are eternal, and neither of them has birth and death. The so-called births and disappearances of the Lord are unlike those of the living beings. The living beings are bound by the laws of material nature. But the Lord’s actions are not bound by material nature, but are demonstrations of the internal potency of the Lord. Simply by meditating on such activities one can attain realization of Brahman and thus become liberated from material bondage. In the śrutis it is said that the birthless appears to take birth. The appearance and disappearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His different activities are all confidential, even to the Vedic literatures. We should always take advantage of the narrations of the activities of the Lord, which are meditations on Brahman in the most convenient and palatable form.

Text 36 sa vā ida ṁ viśvam amogha-līla ḥ s ṛ jaty avaty atti na sajjate ’smin bhūte ṣ u cāntarhita ātma-tantra ḥ ṣ ā ḍ -vargika ṁ jighrati ṣ a ḍ -gu ṇ eśa ḥ The Lord, whose activities are always spotless, is the master of the six senses and is fully omnipotent with six opulences. He creates the manifested universes, maintains them and annihilates them without being in the least affected. He is within every living being and is always independent.

Lord is the creator and the living entities are the created. He is called the amogha-līla ḥ, which indicates that there is nothing lamentable in His creation. Those who create disturbance in His creation are themselves distur He is transcendental to all material afflictions because He is full with all six opulences. He is the master of the senses. He creates these manifested universes in order to reclaim the living beings who are within them suffering threefold miseries, maintains them, and in due course annihilates them without being the least affected by such actions. He is connected with this material creation very superficially, as one smells odor without being connected with the odorous article. Nongodly elements, therefore, can never approach Him, despite all endeavors.

Text 37 na cāsya kaścin nipu ṇ ena dhātur avaiti jantu ḥ kumanī ṣ a ūtī ḥ nāmāni rūpā ṇ i mano-vacobhi ḥ santanvato na ṭ a-caryām ivājña ḥ The foolish with a poor fund of knowledge cannot know the transcendental nature of the forms, names and activities of the Lord, who is playing like an actor in a drama. Nor can they express such things, neither in their speculations nor in their words.

No one can properly describe the transcendental nature of the Absolute Truth. He is beyond the expression of mind and speech. To the layman His activities, appearance and disappearance, His names, His forms, His paraphernalia, His personalities and all things in relation with Him are mysterious. There are two classes of materialists, namely the fruitive workers and the empiric philosophers. The fruitive workers have practically no information of the Absolute Truth. The mental speculators are a little more progressive than the gross materialists or the fruitive workers, but because they are also within the grip of illusion, they take it for granted that anything which has form, a name and activities is but a product of material energy. For them the Supreme Spirit is formless, nameless and inactive. With such a poor fund of knowledge, there is no access to the real nature of the Supreme Being.

Text 38 sa veda dhātu ḥ padavī ṁ parasya duranta-vīryasya rathā ṅ ga-pā ṇ e ḥ yo ’māyayā santatayānuv ṛ ttyā bhajeta tat-pāda-saroja-gandham Only those who render unreserved, uninterrupted, favorable service unto the lotus feet of Lord K ṛṣṇ a, who carries the wheel of the chariot in His hand, can know the creator of the universe in His full glory, power and transcendence.

Only the pure devotees can know the transcendental name, form and activities of Lord K ṛṣṇ a due to their being completely freed from the reactions of fruitive work and mental speculation. They render incessant service to the Lord spontaneously, without any reservation. Those who are rendering service indirectly, being forced by the illusory agent of the Lord, are rendering service unto Him unfavorably. The favorable servitors are devotees of the Lord, and by the grace of the Lord they can enter into the mysterious region of transcendence. The mental speculators remain in darkness all the time. Lord Himself guides the pure devotees toward the path of realization due to their constant engagement in the loving service of the Lord in spontaneous affection. That is the secret of entering into the kingdom of God. Fruitive activities and speculation are no qualifications for entering.
