Bengt,

 

Your signature at the end 'Yours in Bhagavan' indicates duality does it not?

Believing one is Brahman ---Aham Brahmasmi is also dualistic in expression. 'Who

am I'? is the route of self enquiry as it drives the thought 'I' to its source.

I believe that I am already a Jnani with samskaras in the way, as you are also.

When people believe they are Brahman it is also in delusion as Saguna is

illusion.

 

However having said that..I can quote Jesus when he said the way to the father

was through me. He was talking as the Saguna/Sakti or 'Son'. This is the Self of

Ramana, the Siva of Ramana, but it is not the ultimate Truth. As Pilate asked

Jesus 'What is Truth?'...Jesus gave no answer for there is no answer hence

NirGuna.

 

Ajativada means no creation or manifestation. This is difficult to handle for if

there was even an appearance of creation or illusion, it would need a mind and

some duality in Brahman. That is not possible hence not even the appearance

happened.

WE WERE AND ALWAYS ARE BRAHMAN but that can only be explained in the negative no

modes/NirGuna.

 

Again if people aim to merge with Sakti/Saguna, NirGuna is realised

spontaneously. Unless one has a devotion to form and doesn't want to let

go...then one goes to a state of consciousness/Brahmaloka one step from

realisation, until the mahapralaya.

 

The final question is....In pure meditation beyond sushupti or deep sleep, where

is Saguna or Sakti or anything?....Cheers Tony.

 

If my attempt is too confusing ask me again directly....
