Introduction2. God is the infinite truth and is limitless.

The proof of existence has been beautifully described by Imam Sajid (AS) wherein he says, “God is not connected with any boundaries (His pure existence does not accept any limits). He is far above such things. How is possible that one who has not limitless should be connected with boundaries. (1)

In other traditions Imam Ali Reza (AS) says: “His entity is far superior that eyes should behold Him or thoughts can encircle Him or the intellect can bring Him under any jurisdiction.

The questioner pleaded for him to explain His limitations and then the Imam said, “Every limited being will be confined to his boundaries and if he can then he will accept more. If he is capable of increase then he may have loss and reduction (he who is capable of increase will be a contingent being). But God is limitless and does not accept any increase; he cannot be understood and he cannot be imagined.
