Namaste, Actually Mystics are really seeking non-experience, or experience some with an ego/mind. Nir Vikalpa or Nir Guna means No Mind, No Modes, etc. This is the whole purpose of a Guru to encourage less activity not more. So Mystics wish to awaken to the fact that they are Nirguna and this never happened at all, not even the dream of it....ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
