A word is a qualification as it is of the mind.....so the Brahman is the Self or Saguna Concept...which is ultimately unreal....however it seems that on realisation of Saguna one simultaneously realises NirGuna as well.........I read Ramana's answer on this and as usual he is talking about the Saguna/Self/Siva.p17 Be as you are...Cheers Tony. If you can think about it or speak about it or give it a name or non name it isn't real.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
