Bhagavad Gita 13.12

ज्ञेयं यत्तत्प्रवक्ष्यामि यज्ज्ञात्वाऽमृतमश्नुते।अनादिमत्परं ब्रह्म न सत्तन्नासदुच्यते॥

jñeyaṁ yat tat pravakṣhyāmi yaj jñātvāmṛitam aśhnute anādi mat-paraṁ brahma na sat tan nāsad uchyate

Translation

I will declare that which ought to be known, that which being known immortality is enjoyed—the beginningless supreme Eternal, called neither being nor non-being.

What it means

I will declare that which is to be known, knowing which one attains immortality: the beginningless supreme Eternal, called neither existent nor non-existent. The object of knowledge defeats our basic categories. It is more real than the real.

Try this today

The object of knowledge announced: beyond the categories of is and is-not.

Something to reflect on

What in my experience is more real than the categories 'is' and 'is not'?
