SB 6.16.21

वचस्युपरते ऽप्राप्य य एको मनसा सह अनामरूपश्चिन्मात्रः सो ऽव्यान्नः सदसत्परः

Synonyms

Translation

The words and mind of the conditioned soul cannot approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for material names and forms are not applicable to the Lord, who is entirely spiritual, beyond the conception of gross and subtle forms. The impersonal Brahman is another of His forms. May He, by His pleasure, protect us.

Purport

The impersonal Brahman, which is the effulgence of the Lord, is described in this verse.
