The gunas & time

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I am new to this group, thanks for having me. I have been reading

advaitic texts for several years now and I am still searching for a

decisive and succinct answer to the following question: if only

unchangeable things are real, are the gunas real? Of course, I know

that they are only concepts, and that ultimately everything is real,

but what bothers me is the discrepancy between this definition of

reality (i.e., real = unchangeable) and the permanent nature of the

gunas. In fact, the same applies to the four states of being...

 

Another question: where can I find an in-depth discussion of the

concept of time from the advaitic perspective?

 

Many thanks,
