Hence in Advaita > Brahman is referred to as Absolute Existence - SAT - the only REALITY. Namaste, Sat cit ananada is Saguna as they are attributes or qualities as Ramana calls them. I can't prove Nir Guna as by description it cannot be proved, for a mind is req'd for that.. I can just say that whatever has been said by Ramana and Sankara leaves the logical and only conclusion. Reality is Being so is Saguna. It is very logical if creation is appearance and brahman then brahman must have some duality and mind and this cannot be so. Non Duality, Ahimsa, Silence all mean the same thing no duality, no movement and no sound at all.........no projection. I realise that you cannot grasp what I am saying for whatever reason so there is no point in continuing. I posted something on solomon and sheba perhaps we could talk about that....................If it gets through....Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
