Of course Nirguna doesnt exist or be, for that is the Saguna attribute. This all came up because I said there was no God interfering in the illusion and only karma was the engine. This is of course mixing my apples and oranges a little, for this illusion never ever existed at all. Within illusion it is obvious that there is no God interfering, otherwise there would be no bodhisattavas and avatars, and even that is karmic. AS there is no time, all karma happens at once action and reaction. Our only choice in the matter is our opinion on the action, the action itself is unavoidable, that is why saranagathi or surrender is important. So one makes the right or wrong decision mentally on an action at the same time, and the result is at the same time. This is illustrated aptly by the Avatar Sri Krishna, who told Arjun that the enemy were already dead, they had already been killed. This shows that surrender and the idea of action has to be completed. In the end result we have to go within find Sakti so we also realise Nirguna. Prayer to change things is really a comfort only, for it is external. The only prayer needed is surrender to the reality. IMO of course................ONS..Tony.
