Him


Anant. Akhand. Anadi.
Unending. Inseparable. Unborn.

During the Mahabharata, Arjuna has questions about the whereabouts of God. What is God? Does He have a beggining or an end? Lord Krishna replies to all his questions with the three words: Anant. Akhand. Anadi.

perhaps 'unborn' is what should change and then he/she might know what it feels like...till then do we even know?

The picture seems to cleanse our inner selves, for whatever reason.

The last hymn of Rg Veda is Naasadiya Suktam (the same chant with which the old DD serial 'Bhaarat ek Khoj' used to start with)

translated, it means,
That out of which creation has arisen,
whether it held it firm or it did not,
He who surveys it in the highest heaven,
He surely knows - or maybe He does not!


I do not know of any more abstract hymns around!
