Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 2.1.27

The objection just urged against the individual soul cannot be taken to exist in the case of the Lord (being the maker). For scriptural passages do declare Him such, as Paingins’ Sruti do,” He who is incompatible, yet not incompatible, who is the thinker, yet not the thinker, who is without speech, yet the speaker j who is action, yet without action,—He is the perfect and Supreme Lord.” As the Lord is known only by means of Scripture which derives its authority from itself, the contradiction of reasoning (limited to things received by the senses) cannot apply to what is primarily known through Scripture. Accordingly it is said in the Purushottama Tantra: “ In no case reasoning is capable of undoing what is established by scripture only. Hence reasoning is but of some help where occasionally statements themselves appear conflict* ing.”
