Verse 139

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Do not object that describing the qualityless Reality with attributes is like calling one's mother barren. How could the subtle truth of a thing be communicated without words that indicate it? Scripture compassionately uses these expressions so that Brahma-jñāna may arise and jīvanmukti be attained; the so-called ‘qualities’ are not additions to Brahman but pointers to Brahman's very nature.
