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.
