lit. 'That which cannot or should not be thought, the unthinkable, incomprehensible, impenetrable, that which transcends the limits of thinking and over which therefore one should not ponder.
These 4 unthinkables are:
the sphere of a Buddha (buddha-visaya),
of the meditative absorptions (jha^na-visaya),
of karma-result (kamma-vipa^ka), and
brooding over the world (loka-cinta^), especially over an absolute first beginning of it
(s. A.IV.77).
"Therefore, o monks, do not brood over the world as to whether it is eternal or temporal, limited or endless .... Such brooding, O monks, is senseless, has nothing to do with genuine pure conduct (s. a^dibrahmacariyaka-si^la), does not lead to aversion, detachment, extinction, nor to peace, to full comprehension, enlightenment and Nibba^na, etc." (S.56.41).
