I fail to understand, how could it then be that it is a serves as a substratum/support for (AdhAra) *anirvachaniya avidya*. I mean to say, would not " support for an anirvachaniya-something " itself be a trait of Brahman. > > Kindly bear with my ignorance. > > Regards > Rama Namaste, NirGuna means no attributes, it is language to describe in the negative for no description can fit Brahman. Brahman is not the substratum, Why? because it never happened-- Ajatavada. Saguna Brahman is posited to add some validity for debate, and explanation. Ask yourself the questions. 1. Where does the world go to in deepest sleep? 2, Where does it go when the Mukta drops the body? The answer is it doesn't exist for Brahman cannot be divided or described-----it didn't happen at all..........ONS..Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
