Krishn says,’Seeing me in human form,
ignorant people, who are unable to grasp my true divine nature, think
that I am an ordinary material person.’ because ‘Mind is
beyond the reach of senses. Intellect is beyond the reach mind. Soul
is beyond the reach of intellect’. Further Maya is beyond soul and God is beyond Maya. Thus intellect is in no way capable of reaching God.
Mind and intellect work with the power of soul.
Soul governs them.
Take an example of a string puppet. We know that
human controls string puppet. They work with power of human. Human is
beyond the reach of a puppet. Puppets have no capability to
understand human. Human has vitality while puppet is dull matter.
Similarly soul has vitality while mind and intellect are dull matter.
Hence the mind cannot perceive soul and the intellect cannot
understand soul. Further Maya, which is empowered by God, is beyond
soul. And then God is beyond Maya.
Thus there is no way that we can understand Soul,
Maya and God. Because everyone relies on intellect to know anything
and everything but in the case of God, the most trusted instrument –
the intellect – has failed .
Thus God cannot be understood by
intellect nor he can be perceived by mind. Similarly soul cannot be
known to us. We are unsuccessful in knowing God since time infinite.
God is eternal bliss. This explains why we do not have any single
experience of divine bliss up till now though we have lived infinite
lives.
God is at the top.
