Kena Upanishad 3: Verse 3
न तत्र चक्षुर्गच्छति न वाग्गच्छति नो मनो न विद्मो न विजानीमो यथैतदनुशिष्यात्। अन्यदेव तद्विदितादथो अविदितादधि। इति शुश्रुम पूर्वेषां ये नस्तद्व्याचचक्षिरे॥३॥
न तत्र चक्षुः गच्छति न वाक् गच्छति नो मनः न विद्मः न विजानीमः यथा एतत् अनुशिष्यात्। अन्यत् एव तत् विदितात् अथो अविदितात् अधि। इति शुश्रुम पूर्वेषां ये नः तत् व्याचचक्षिरे॥
na tatra cakṣur gacchati na vāg gacchati no mano na vidmo na vijānīmo yathaitad anuśiṣyāt | anyadeva tad viditād atho aviditād adhi | iti śuśruma pūrveṣāṃ ye nas tad vyācacakṣire ||
ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಕಣ್ಣು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ವಾಕ್ಕು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಮನಸ್ಸು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಇದನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಬೋಧಿಸಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ನಾವು ತಿಳಿಯುವುದಿಲ್ಲ, ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದು ತಿಳಿದದ್ದಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಭಿನ್ನವಾದದ್ದು ಮತ್ತು ತಿಳಿಯದ್ದಕ್ಕಿಂತಲೂ ಮೀರಿದ್ದು. ಹೀಗೆ ನಮಗೆ ಬೋಧಿಸಿದ ಪೂರ್ವಿಕರಿಂದ ನಾವು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
There the eye does not go, nor speech, nor the mind. We do not know, we do not understand how one would teach it. It is other than the known and indeed beyond the unknown. Thus we have heard from the ancient ones who explained it to us.
