94:3.2 In the [[concept]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Brahman] the [[minds]] of those days truly grasped at the [[idea]] of some all-pervading [[Absolute]], for this [[postulate]] was at one and the same [[time]] identified as [[creative]] [[energy]] and [[cosmic]] [[reaction]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Brahman] was conceived to be beyond all definition, capable of being [[comprehended]] only by the [[successive]] negation of all [[finite]] [[qualities]]. It was definitely a [[belief]] in an absolute, even an [[infinite]], [[being]], but this [[concept]] was largely devoid of [[personality]] [[attributes]] and was therefore not experiencible by [[individual]] religionists.

94:3.3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman Brahman]-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narayana Narayana] was conceived as the [[Absolute]], the [[infinite]] IT IS, the primordial [[creative]] [[potency]] of the potential [[cosmos]], the [[Universal]] [[Self]] existing static and potential throughout all [[eternity]].

94:3.4 In certain [[phases]] the [[concept]] of the One Universal Oversoul as the [[totality]] of the summation of all [[creature]] [[existence]] led the Indian [[philosophers]] very close to the truth of the [[Supreme Being]], but this [[truth]] availed them naught because they failed to evolve any reasonable or [[rational]] [[personal]] approach to the [[attainment]] of their theoretic [[monotheistic]] goal of Brahman-Narayana.

94:3.8 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upanishads#Philosophy Brahmanic philosophy] has approximated many of the [[facts]] of the [[universe]] and has approached numerous [[cosmic]] [[truths]], but it has all too often fallen [[victim]] to the error of failing to [[differentiate]] between the several [[levels]] of [[reality]], such as [[absolute]], [[transcendental]], and [[finite]]. It has failed to take into account that what may be [[finite]]-[[illusory]] on the [[absolute]] level may be absolutely real on the [[finite]] level. And it has also taken no cognizance of the [[essential]] [[personality]] of the [[Universal Father]], who is personally contactable on all levels from the [[evolutionary]] [[creature]]'s [[limited]] [[experience]] with [[God]] on up to the limitless experience of the [[Eternal Son]] with the [[Paradise Father]].
