अर्थMeaning
'That Brahman,' O Gârgî, 'is unseen, but seeing; unheard, but hearing; unperceived, but perceiving; unknown, but knowing. There is nothing that sees but it, nothing that hears but it, nothing that perceives but it, nothing that knows but it. In that Akshara then, O Gârgî, the ether is woven, like warp and woof.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
'गार्गी, वह यह अक्षर स्वयं न देखा जाकर देखने वाला है, न सुना जाकर सुनने वाला है, न मनन किया जाकर मनन करने वाला है, न जाना जाकर जानने वाला है। इससे भिन्न कोई द्रष्टा नहीं, इससे भिन्न कोई श्रोता नहीं, इससे भिन्न कोई मन्ता नहीं, इससे भिन्न कोई विज्ञाता नहीं। गार्गी, इसी अक्षर में आकाश ओत-प्रोत है।'
