@KeshavSrinivasan @Tezz Does Yajurved chapter 32 verse 3 fall into any upanishad? I found Adishankara commentary for "They enter darkness those who worship natural things.They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti (created things)" (Yajurved 40:9)" which is Isavasyopanishad 9.

@Tezz @KeshavSrinivasan I want to provide correct interpretation of Yajurveda Chapter 32 verse 3

for this answer

A: Hinduism is extremely confusing for me?

Don't believe blindly what you see on internet. Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma can't be false as name itself says it is eternal and has "Dharma" in it.

@TheDestroyer There are krishna yajurveda and shukla yajurveda. In the question, the op mentioned just yajurveda chapter 32 verse 3. There should be clarity from the op.

@TheDestroyer Yajurveda 32 th chapter is just after Purush Suktam in YajurVeda...

And the 9th verse is "Na Tasya PratimaAasti"..

@TheDestroyer It also occurs in Svetasvatara Upanishad 4.19...

19
No one can grasp Him above, across, or in the middle. **There is no likeness of Him.** His
name is Great Glory (Mahad Yasah).

@TheDestroyer It means "There is no likeness of Him".. (meaning he is incomparable)...

@TheDestroyer sorry.. above I wanted to say :
And the 3rd verse is "Na Tasya PratimaAasti"..

Here is the Ramanuja bhashyam on andham tamah pravisanti....

@TheDestroyer here is Adi Shankara commentary on that verse:...

Mantra 19
nainam ūrdhvaṃ na tiryañcaṃ na madhye parijagrabhat /
na tasya pratimā asti yasya nāma mahad yaśaḥ // 4.19 //
No one can catch hold of Him either from above, or across, or in the middle. There
is no likeness of Him. His name is Great Glory (Mahad Yasah).
That Paramatman who has been described in various ways in the previous Mantras
cannot be caught hold of or cannot be grasped in whatever manner one may try because
He is entirely beyond grasp. When Sastras talk of knowing Him it only means realizing
