"We are but He; What one indicates as that man, this man, that woman, this
woman, that object, this object; on whatever we indicate in plural similarly, all
are but He and He alone; Things with good traits or bad traits, things there or
here, things that go off, things that will come one day, all are merely He. All
are aspects of His splendor" (translation copied from Sri V. N. Vedanta
deSikan).
SrI rAdhAkRshNa SAstri elaborates further on His being unlimited by time,
space, and substance.
1. Since He existed before everything else, He exists now, and He will
exist for ever in the future, He is unlimited by time (bhUta-bhavyabhavan-nAthah).
Thus He is nitya - nityo nityAnAm (kaTha. 2. 2. 13);
2. Since He pervades everything and is everywhere inside and out, He is
unlimited by space (vishNu); eko devah sarva bhUteshu gUDhah sarvavyApI
ca bhagavAn (SvetASva. 3. 11).
3. Since He is everything there is, it is not possible to precisely say that
He is this, that, man, woman, or any one thing, and so He is unlimited by
form; naiva strI na pumAn eshah ( SvetASva. 5. 10).
b) SrI baladeva vidyA bhUshaN gives the interpretation that He is anantah
because He is beyond the reach of those who are not pure in their mind - aviSuddha
manasAm a-nikaTatvAt anantah.
