It is necessary for all of us to aspire after that perfection but when that blessed state is attained, it becomes indescribable, indefinable.
-Mahatma Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi"
God can never be a definition. He is more than even the entirety of the dictionary.

Chant the name of God with heartfelt devotion. Everything else is just a pompous worldly show.
