What happens when you have the interplay of three adjectives which inflect each other creating a boundless space? From Satyam we move to Jnanam to Anantam. One opens up to the other even demanding this extension. It's not that either, it's an encompassing and a nesting at once. There is a conceptual planetary system, so to speak, and our attention and absorbtion is the gravity that holds it together. "That is the infinite in which one does not know anything else". The inflection of the infinite creates a consciousness which is not a knower there being no second thing to know. The 'jnanam' (consciousness or knowledge) in its turn inflects the 'satyam' (true/changeless) so there is a triple system in which the divine energy moves back and forth.
The characteristic mistake of the 'objector' is to focus on one of these terms and try to show that there is an error.
Objection: From the denial of particulars in the (above) statement, "One does not know anything else", it follows that one knows the Self.
By isolating the boundless/infinite, the triple system effect is lost.
