26. Samkalpakrudupaadhi nachit tadattaa naagnih.
Translation: When God is said to have will, the medium is awareness. This does not mean that God is awareness. If that is so, God is said to be burner of all the creation in the end. This does not mean that God is fire.
Explanation: In Veda it is said that God wished to create this world (Sa ekshata…). People thought that God must be awareness due to the will, because awareness alone can wish. It is also said that God burns all the creation in the end as per Brahma Sutra (Attaa charaachara…). This does not mean that God is the inert fire.
27. Sarvakrut sarvayonitvaat gunashaasi na lokatarkyam.
Translation: God being the source of all items and their properties of the creation, God can do everything without being that. Items have specific properties by His order only. God is beyond the worldly logic.
Explanation: The creation contains various items. Each item is having certain prescribed qualities. All the items and their qualities are generated from God only. By the will of God only, a quality exists in a particular item. No item has any inherent quality by itself. It is by the order of God only that an item has a particular quality. If God wishes the qualities may change. By the will of God fire may become cold and water may become hot. In the world you are recognizing the item by its quality thinking as if that quality is inherent of that item only. The worldly logic is not standard because it is based on the will of God only. This worldly logic cannot be applied to the case of God, who is omnipotent to change the quality of any item. God being the source of all the qualities, God can posses any quality and due to that God need not be that item possessing the quality as seen in this world. Without being awareness, God can wish. Without being fire, God can burn anything. Hence, you should not apply the logic of identifying items by their qualities to God as in the case of this world. A quality indicates the potential work of the item. Burning is the quality and also is the potential work of the item. Therefore, God can have any quality and is potent to do any work.
28. Naanumeyagunakriyah shruyante.
Translation: Veda says that God can have the quality to do the potential work without being the corresponding item.
Explanation: Veda says that God can run without legs and can catch without hands (Apaani Paado…). According to the worldly logic, the item that runs must have legs and the item that catches must have hands. But God runs without legs and catches without hands. This means that God is beyond the worldly logic and hence is unimaginable.
29. Atibodhaakaashaatitamanuhyam tatkaaranam.
Translation: God is unimaginable because God, the generator of space, is beyond the space. The intelligence can never go beyond the space.
Explanation: Veda says that God is the cause of space (Atmaana Aakaashah….). Cause can be seen in its original form, only when its effect is destroyed. The lump of mud can be visualized only when the pot is destroyed. Hence, to understand the original God, the space must be destroyed. When the space is destroyed and does not exist, the situation is unimaginable, in spite of your intensive imagination even for hundred years. Since, your intelligence cannot cross the space, God, who is beyond space can never be imagined by human intelligence. This is the reason for God being unimaginable.
