So going by the above definition, I understand the generic term 'brahmam/brahman' then means an entity that is all-knowing, full of bliss, benevolent, humble, virtuous, joyous and meritorious that controls one and all, stands as a witness to everything and onto which everything dissolves and arises out of. I come to this conclusion about brahmam from the quoted lines because if nirguna brahmam is really the other side of saguna brahmam, then they share these attributes together!

I would love any corrections on this one.
Namaste Viraja Ji,

I agree.You have put it so well.
