praGYaanaM brahma

[Ekanta]

If it is 'achintyam', 'avyahāryam, 'alakshanam', then it would also be totally 'avijneyah'. It is like saying God is 'unknowable' but 'I know God'. Many scriptures fall at this. I like the Brahma Sutra approach better, step by step - 'atha Brahmajijnasa'. Let us discuss what we can find out.

Some food for thought:

Mandukya Upanishad Karika 3.33:
“They say that the non-conceptual knowledge, which is birthless, is non-different form the knowable (Brahman). The knowledge that has Brahman for its content is birthless and everlasting. The birthless (Self) is known by the birthless (knowledge).”

Relevant Upanishads:
“for the knower’s function of knowing can never be lost” (BrU 4.3.30)
“Knowledge, bliss, Brahman” (BrU 3.9.28:7)
“Brahman is truth, knowledge, infinite” (TaiU 2.1.1)

Shankaras comment: “… that very knowledge of… Brahman… is non-different from Brahman, as heat is form fire… The idea … is that the Self being ever a homogeneous mass of Consciousness, like the sun that is by nature a constant light, does not depend on any other knowledge (for Its revelation).”

 

[Aupmanyav]

"The birthless (Self) is known by the birthless (knowledge).”

The birthless knows the birthless. That is how I know Brahman. But first one has to be birthless, deathless. One who takes birth and dies cannot know Brahman.
