What do you need to enter the unmanifest? Like faith, selflessness or what?

Thanks.

It is unclear what you mean by "unmanifest". Could you clarify?

The reason why I ask is that during Pralaya [dissolution], the universe and the souls are believed to become unmanifest from manifest.

Brahman is considered to be like the light of the sun. The sun's light manifests the unmanifest by shedding light on the pre-existing objects. The sun's light also reveals itself.

In pralaya, Brahman's light recedes making the manifest unmanifest.

The unmanifested is the Absolute, the pure and formless ground of being from which creation and manifestation arise. As such, the unmanifested is free from change, the unmoved mover. It also, necessarily, cannot be explained or comprehended in terms of any manifest reality.
Some schools of belief hold that the manifest and unmanifested are part of the same reality (e.g. pantheism), others believe that the Absolute is the only reality with all manifestation being illusory (e.g. acosmism), a third belief posits that the one God interpenetrates every part of nature, and timelessly extends beyond as well (e.g. panentheism).


The unmanifest is where Brahman is.

If you think deeply, you will realize that all human beings seek joy from life. And joy cannot be derived from things that you can see-feel-touch-smell-taste as these are all transient (transient : something which is born and over a period of time decays and finally withers away). Joy based on permanent things stands permanently holds on permanently - and interestingly these "things" are unmanifest. Thus money can buy everything that we can see-feel-touch-smell-taste, but cannot buy "selfless love" of your 2 year old kid who welcomes you home after a tiring day at office. Nor can it buy the "patience, love and care" of your wife, you will wait for you at dinner even if you are late from office. It is these unmanifested attributes, that we experience, through life's small incidents that make life worth living.
