From the second chapter of the Kena Upanishad (trans by Swami Sharvananada) onwards:
'Thou knowest indeed very little of Brahman's form, if thou thinkest 'I know it well'. What thou knowest of this Brahman among the divinities is also very little. Therefore the nature of Brahman is still to be ascertained by thee.
(At this the disciple thought more deeply of Brahman within himself and realised It; then he came to the preceptor and said:) 'Now I think It has become known to me'.
'I do not think I know It well nor do I think that I know It not. The one among us knows It truly, who knows this. Nor do I know that I know It not.'
Brahman is truly comprehended by the one who knows It as incomprehensible; the one who thinks It is comprehended by them knows It not. It is unknown to those who know and known to those who do not know.'

O Great Iovis, Celestial Demiurge and King of the All, Lord of the Heavens and the Earth,
He of the Seven Rays, whose radiance delivers only good and whose stare averts only evil,
Undefeated and shining benefactor, who illuminates all things with His radiant eye of Emyrean light,
Boaster and dispenser of the harmony of light, whose all-seeing eye brings justice and truth to all, and sees as far as our hidden thoughts,
Whose solar rays raise the souls of those who transcend the material, up into harmonious union,
Give me, if you wish so, Great God, the bliss of strength to endure the challenges of what life puts before us,
For you, Golden King whose power is infinite and unending, are perfect.

"Deus, o Princípio, gerou a si mesmo,
Guardião e Pai das coisas existentes,
Nascido sem nascimento,
Firmemente entronizado acima dos pináculos dos céus,
Orgulhoso em perpétua glória,
Deus assenta-se inabalavelmente,
Das unidades a pura unidade,
e a primeira mônada das mônadas."
- Hino 1, Sinésio.
