 See 9:19 where God is described as both Sat and Asat — Being and Non-being.  The difference is that when we consider the Ultimate to be both Being and Non-being, then we know that all opposites meet in God, death and life, and other natural conflicts and contradictions are immanent is God’s Creative Energy state which is constantly beginning and ending, becoming and vanishing.  But in this state, where God is known as beyond Sat and Asat all these qualities vanish.  We are now considering apopathic theology, negative theology, where God is not spoken of as This and That but as Not-this and Not-that so in the end the highest Truth lies in silence.
