“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
The Hindu calls this Maya, the manifestation of God, because it is the power of God.
The Absolute reflecting through the universe is what we call nature. The Word has two manifestations -- the general one of nature, and the special one of the great Incarnations of God -- Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, and Ramakrishna.
Christ, the special manifestation of the Absolute, is known and knowable. The absolute cannot be known: we cannot know the Father, only the Son. We can only see the Absolute through the "tint of humanity", through Christ.
