Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 11: The Vision of the Cosmic Form

Bhagavad Gita 11.37

kasmācca te na nameranmahātman garīyase brahmaṇo'pyādikartre | ananta deveśa jagannivāsa tvamakṣaraṃ sadasattatparaṃ yat ||

And why should they not bow to you, O great one, who are greater even than Brahma, the first creator? O infinite one, Lord of gods, refuge of the universe, you are the imperishable: what is, what is not, and what lies beyond both.

Modern context

'You are what is, what is not, and what lies beyond both.' This line stretches language to its limit. Being, non-being, and something beyond the very distinction. Philosophers have argued over such ideas for millennia. Arjuna arrives at it not through argument but through seeing. Some truths are reached at the point where reason gives way to wonder.
