The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad (Swami Krishnananda)
Transliteration: Avyapadeśyam
Commentary: "Indescribable, ineffable is it. You cannot speak its glory with your tongue. No scripture can describe it; no saint can explain it. Not even the wisdom of the sages put together can be adequate to its greatness. It is beyond all the wisdom of the sages, and it is peerless, incomparable. This character of the Being of this Reality is due to the fact that it cannot be referred to by anyone else. This world is a network of references. One thing is referred to the other for the purpose of definition, understanding and dealing. The whole world of business is a realm of references made to ‘others’. Here, however, no such reference is possible. It is a silence of all activity, both of the body and of the mind."
