The original author said that the ground without the jar was the unqualifed state. Was he mistaken? Or is the word " ground " more unqualified than the word " mind.

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 When the mind has a thought there appears to be a mind and a thought. When the mind has no thought, there appears to be a mind with no thought. In either case, there is neither mind nor thought. The " unqualified state " pertains in any case. Whether thought, no-thought, mind, no-mind, always unqualified state. This is called Nothing to Attain.
