    "No thought can grasp Him"

    Right. No THOUGHT can grasp Him. No created being, even a tzaddik can grasp His essence.  Hashem said "you can see my back, but not My Front".

    So what can we do to get close?

    Of we can't grasp Him, the next best might be to just do as He says, to do what He wants. When one does what the other wants one can get as close as possible.

    The words you speak about reaching that highest state of real "reality"

    are beautiful. Every once in a while I believe one can reach that state and actually reaches that state. To stay there forever however and continuously, is the challenge!
