Dear All,

There are some aspects of spirituality (notably Vedanta and its
close cousins non-duality and Advaita ) that frankly stump me.

Something like - do seva to the Guru, earn his compassion and
grace ... now THAT I can understand.

Fall in love with the Goddess - do the sadhana out of that love and
inspiration ... now THAT I can connect with and sigh over ...

But ... any talk of non-duality, "beyond all qualities" , etc just
terrify me and leave me vaguely uneasy and a wish to be elsewhere.

So this is where I am enlisting the support of you ... my extended
satsang family ... to help out a gal that is trying to demystify
some aspects of spirituality.

For a start ... Verse 59 of the Guru Gita says "He strives after
that which is beyond all qualities"

What does that mean ? What does it mean to be beyond all qualities ?
Can one know the meaning without actually experiencing the state of
being beyond all qualities ? Can someone give an example from a book
or the life of a saint or even their own lives where this phrase
applies ?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Jai Guru
Nanda
