Chapter 3, Verse 5:

 

Swami Chetanananda

How can I say whether Brahman is nondual or dual in Its nature? How can

I say whether It is eternal or noneternal? I am

Existence-Knowledge-Bliss and boundless as space.

 

Swami Ashokananda

How shall I speak of the Whole, which is nondual? How shall I speak of

the Whole, which is of the nature of duality? How shall I speak of the

Whole, which is eternal and non-eternal? I am the nectar of

Knowledge-homogeneous Existence, like the sky.

Note: How, etc. - It is not possible to describe the Self even in Its

phenomenal aspect, because thought or language can comprehend even

phenomena only in their superficial aspects. In their deeper aspects

phenomena are indistinguishable from the transcendental Self and

therefore indescribable.
