Knowledge cannot reach him, speech cannot contain him, and the senses cannot cross his boundary. He is unborn, beyond maya, beyond mind, and beyond the changing qualities of nature.
That very reality, dense with existence, consciousness, and bliss, performs noble human deeds. The transcendence named by negation sits within a family, listens to sages, guides brothers, and rules a city.
Nothing has been surrendered in the descent. The infinite does not become finite when it appears in Rama's gestures. Rather, ordinary human action becomes transparent to the limitless being within it. The unborn walks through time without ceasing to be unborn. The one beyond speech accepts a name and answers when love calls it. Lila is the wonder by which the unreachable becomes intimately visible while remaining immeasurable.
The formless does not hide behind Rama's human life; it shines through every generous deed without losing its infinity.
Read the passage from the Manas
ग्यान गिरा गोतीत अज माया मन गुन पार। सोइ सच्चिदानंद घन कर नर चरित उदार।।25।।
He who transcends knowledge, speech, and senses, who is unborn, who is beyond maya, mind, and the gunas, that same Being of pure Existence-Consciousness-Bliss performs noble human deeds! The unlimited plays at being limited. The formless takes form. The unborn is born. Such is the wonder of divine play.
