How is it known as pure being? By whom? How is comparison to be made here -- what is it that is impure or not being? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste Dan, Consciousness is an aspect of Saguna Brahman, Praneaswara, who can say about pure being, it never arose it always was......The truth is ultimate Non Being.....ONS Tony. Namaste Tony -- What doesn't arise and doesn't depart can't be named -- can't be compared -- It could be said, then, that everything arises and departs -- there is only transition. Not transition of something that becomes something else. Just transition -- and not to get somewhere. What is not in transition, no one can give its name or its place. Saying there is an " it " that is not in transition is, therefore, false -- regardless of attempts to define being or consciousness as such an " it " .
