acintyah khalu ye bhava na tams tarkena yojayet

prakrtibhyah param yac ca tad acintyasya laksanam

acintyah-inconceivable; khalu-certainly; ye-those; bhavah-subject matters; na-not; tan-them; tarkena-by argument; yojayet-one may understand; prakrtibhyah-to material nature; param-transcendental; yat-that which; ca-and; tat-that; acintyasya-of the inconceivable; laksanam-a symptom.

TRANSLATION

"Anything transcendental to material nature is called inconceivable, whereas arguments are all mundane. Since mundane arguments cannot touch transcendental subject matters, one should not try to understand transcendental subjects through mundane arguments."
