Nirakar brahm (formless brahm), upon whom the great gyanis (those who pursue spiritual knowledge) meditate, is none other than the Divine light from Radharani’s jewel-like toenails of Her lotus feet.
Now, this brahm is just the light from Radharani’s lotus feet. What to say of Radha Herself? So now we’re going to move in that direction.
So first take brahm.
ब्रह्म हि तत्त्वम् न जानाति वेद
Brahma hi tattvam na jānāti ved.
This brahm, which is only the light of Radharani’s toenails of Her lotus feet, that brahm cannot even be described by Vedas. Vedas says,
… अदृश्यमव्यवहार्यमग्राह्यमलक्षणमचिन्त्यमव्यपदेश्यमेकात्मप्रत्ययसारं प्रपञ्चोपशमं शान्तं शिवमद्वैतं …
…Adṛishyamavyavahāryamagrāhyamalakṣhaṇamachintyamavyapadeśhyamekātmapratyayasāraṁ prapañchopaśhamaṁ śhāntaṁ śhivamadvaitaṁ…
- Mandukya Upanishad Verse 7 (partial)
Vedas saying, “We can’t see brahm, we can’t touch brahm, we can’t think of or conceive of brahm, we can’t grasp brahm with any of our senses, we can’t understand brahm, we can’t interact with brahm in any way.”
In other words, Vedas said, “We can’t tell what is brahm, who is ‘H’e, how is ‘H’e, we can’t tell.”
Vedas gave up, admitting defeat that we can’t tell. The richas of the Vedas are Divine personalities themselves in personal form, and they’re admitting,
“It’s beyond our power to even describe brahm.” Veda is saying that this brahm is beyond even our buddhi (intellect), even our Divine intellect, cannot adequately describe brahm.
