Bhagavad Gita 10.14

सर्वमेतदृतं मन्ये यन्मां वदसि केशव। न हि ते भगवन् व्यक्ितं विदुर्देवा न दानवाः॥

sarvam etad ṛitaṁ manye yan māṁ vadasi keśhava na hi te bhagavan vyaktiṁ vidur devā na dānavāḥ

Translation

All this I believe true that Thou sayest to me, O Keshava. Thy manifestation, O Blessed Lord, neither Shining Ones nor Dânavas comprehend.

What it means

All this You tell me I hold as true; Your manifestation, O Lord, neither gods nor demons comprehend. Faith here is reasoned consent after examination. The incomprehensibility of the source is itself part of what is accepted.

Try this today

Faith stated with its limit: even the highest beings cannot fully grasp what is here accepted.

Something to reflect on

Can I commit to something while admitting it exceeds my comprehension?
