It would be well received by the reader if you could offer the śāstra-s ( of śruti or smti ) that support these views. Note this is not a challange, but an offer that will be of value to the new reader and student that wishes to pursue this line of thought.

These quotes are from Madhvacharya's Vishnutatvanirnaya-

O sage, Virupa, praise him in eternal words.(RV 8.75.6)

‘Thousands are the glories of Brahman and they are individually thousandfold. The speech of the Veda is co-extensive with Brahman. What man of intelligence is there who can comprehend the significance of the Vedas and who is there, who comprehending it, can expound it ?’ (RV 10.114.9)

The Katyayana-sruti says: ‘The highest object of knowledge is Brahman and the highest source of knowledge is the Sruti. Sruti is unoriginated and eternal and even so is Brahman. Independent of Sruti he cannot be known.'

Taittriya Aranyaka (3.12.9.17) says: "No one who does not know the Vedas understands this great all- experiencing atman, understanding of whom is the way to liberation"

The Katha Upanishad (1.2.9) says: "This knowledge is neither attainable nor refutable by reasoning. Only when it is imparted by a  teacher it leads to direct realisation"

The Pippalada-sruti says: "Neither the senses nor inference lead to the knowing of this One. Only the Vedas do so and hence they are called "Veads"
