In this great prayer to the God points out how each one of these is impossible or unjustified while bringing out those great qualities of God.

Adi Shankara Bhagwat Pada.
Translated by PR Ramchandar.

How do I worship that entity,
Which is limitless, without borders,
Which is full of perennial bliss,
Which has a form that is beyond imagination,
And which stands alone without a second.
How can I place him at a place,
When he is spread everywhere,
How can I offer him a seat,
When he carries the entire universe,
How can I clean his feet and hands,
When he is the purest of the pure,
How can I offer him a sip of water,
When he is himself the nectar?
How can I offer him a bath,
When he is the cleanest of the clean,
How can I offer him a dress,
When he has the universe in his belly.
How can I offer him sacred thread,
When he is without color and caste?
How can I offer sandal paste,
To the one who is without application,
How can I offer fragrant flowers,
When he is beyond smell and scent,
How can I offer him ornaments,
When he is already beyond adjectives,
How can I offer him decoration, when he does not have any form?
How can I offer him a lighted lamp,
When he is the all-seeing witness,
How can I offer him the scented smoke,
When he is the mixture of all qualities,
How can I offer him sacred offering to eat,
When he is satisfied with eating nectar?
How can I offer him betel leaf and nut,
When he is the one who makes the world happy,
And when he makes the sun and moon rise,
With his own lustrous self?
How can I offer him circumambulation,
When he is all pervasive and without end,
How can I praise with words of Vedas,
When he himself are the word of the Vedas?
How can I show the light of Camphor to Him,
When he himself is self-illuminating,
How can I offer him a farewell,
When he is spread inside and outside of everywhere?
Those great masters of the knowledge of Brahma,
Should with singlemindedness worship the lord of the Gods,
Using the external worship, always and in all times.
