अचिन्त्या: खलु ये भावा न तांस्तर्केण साधयेत् । प्रकृतिभ्य: परं यत् तु तदचिन्त्यस्य लक्षणम्

अचिन्त्या खलु ये भावाः न तान् तर्केण साधयेत्। प्रकृतिभ्यः परं यत्तु तदचिन्त्यस्य लक्षणम्॥

Educational Q&A
Some truths—especially those transcending material nature—are ‘acintya’ (inconceivable) and should not be treated as if they can be conclusively established by logical argument alone; humility in knowledge is part of dharmic discernment.
Sañjaya, narrating events and reflections to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, inserts a philosophical observation: certain higher realities cannot be captured by debate or inference, particularly what is beyond prakṛti.
