Although it would be in the company of Jesus, and Mansour, it wouldn't answer your question. With regard to Nir Guna I translate that as no gunas, nada! It is just a word to describe what never happened at all. If it disappears it could never have happened for Nir Guna would be dualistic and Saguna. So nirguna is just my way of saying the manifestation didn't happen even the illusion didn't happen. Even though I give some validity to this apparent illusion whilst one is in it so to speak. It is mystery and my only answer is we question it all for we are Brahman. My debate point is the mind creates religions and rules and belief systems. A teacher like Ramana end up becoming an ishtadevata and is worshipped, so is Sankara or Jesus and they never came to teach this, in fact the opposite.........Tony.
