Brahman is free from change and the three kinds of differences:
23. As creation means the appearance of names and forms, they cannot exist before creation. Therefore like the akasa, Brahman is partless (and there is no difference within It).
24. The difference between objects of the same class can have no reference to Sat, for nothing else exists. One object differs from another on account of its name and form, whereas Brahman is absolutely without name and form.
25. And about non-existence: we cannot say that it (is something that) exists. So it cannot serve as a pratiyogin. If so, how can there be vijātīya difference ?
26, So it is established that Sat is one only without a second. But there are still some who get confused by texts and say that Asat (nothing) existed before creation.
27. As a man who has fallen into the sea is bewildered and loses the power of exercising his senses, so they too become afraid and nervous when they hear of the Reality as one only without parts.
28. The teacher Gauḍapāda speaks of the great fear of some yogins who are devoted to Brahman with form, regarding the objectless superconscious state.
