When attempting to describe nonduality using language (which is utterly " dual " ), there is no " safe ground. " Assuming anything invariably guarantees misunderstandings. >That state, as you rightly say, has plenty of mental activity in it. Just to throw in my two cents... there are no such things as " states " (one state vs. another state). The mind creates the idea of states (yet another " boundary " idea, all of which are false). Thus, the sentence " a state with plenty of mental activity " is sort of a verbal absurdity, as mental activity generates the idea of states. Given that, how could " a state contain mental activity?
