Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 10, Ch. 8]
He is beyond my contemplation, speculation and meditation. He is beyond all of my material activities.
PURPORT
One simply has to realize the greatness of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One should not try to understand Him by any material means, subtle or gross. Mother Yaśodā, being a simple woman, could not find out the real cause of the vision; therefore, out of maternal affection, she simply offered obeisances unto the Supreme Lord to protect her child. She could do nothing but offer obeisances to the Lord. It is said,  acintyāḥ khalu ye bhāvā na tāṁs tarkeṇa yojayet  ( Mahābhārata, Bhīṣma Parva 5.22 ). One should not try to understand the supreme cause by argument or reasoning. When we are beset by some problem for which we can find no reason, there is no alternative than to surrender to the Supreme Lord and offer Him our respectful obeisances. Then our position will be secure. This was the means adopted in this instance also by mother Yaśodā. Whatever happens, the original cause is the Supreme Personality of Godhead ( sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam ). When the immediate cause cannot be ascertained, let us simply offer our obeisances at the lotus feet of the Lord. Mother Yaśodā concluded that the wonderful things she saw within the mouth of her child were due to Him, although she could not clearly ascertain the cause. Therefore when a devotee cannot ascertain the cause of suffering, he concludes:
tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo 
    bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam 
    hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te 
    jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk  
    ( Bhāg. 10.14.8 )
The devotee accepts that it is due to his own past misdeeds that the Supreme Personality of Godhead has caused him some small amount of suffering. Thus he offers obeisances to the Lord again and again. Such a devotee is called  mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk ; that is, he is guaranteed his liberation from this material world. As stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  (2.14):
