" Namste I-ji, This is simply saying that nothing ever happened. It is the concept of Ajativada. First on realisation, the separate 'I' or ego disappears but spontaneously comes the realisation that creation, the big 'I' or Siva also don't exist. There never was a Saguna Brahman concept or creation. There was only ever Nir Guna Brahman....ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
