    Namaskar Arjuna,

    Param Brahman is termed as nirguna (whatever that may mean) in none other than Gita, whereas sattwa is a guna (among three: white, black, and red). The existence that is SAT is not sattwa and what is CID is not Cit. Sattwa and cit are in the domain of mind, though sattwa is truly the untainted primordial mind called aham.

    I agrree with you (as per my learning) that Self is beyond sattwa, that is why it is said to be indescribable. Sat-Cid-Anand is one approximation using vac of that which is beyond vac .


    Regards

    Namah Shivayya

    Namaskar Arjuna,

    Param Brahman is termed as nirguna (whatever that may mean) in none other than Gita, whereas sattwa is a guna (among three: white, black, and red). The existence that is SAT is not same as sattwa and what is CID is not same as Cit. Sattwa and cit are in the domain of mind, though sattwa is truly the untainted primordial mind called aham.

    I agree with you (as per my learning) that Self is beyond sattwa, that is why it is said to be indescribable. Sat-Cid-Anand is one approximation of that which is beyond vac .
