One sees it as a mystery or one speaks of it or hears of it as a mystery, but none knows it.

Gita. II. 29.

 

When men seek after the Immutable, the Indeterminable, the Unmanifest, the All-Pervading, the Unthinkable, the Summit Self, the Immobile, the Permanent, — equal in mind to all, intent on the good of all beings, it is to Me that they come.

Gita, XII. 3, 4.
