 But we are confused in these matters and our logical capacity is dwarfed by Religion. So much so, even Sri Ramakrishna used to say that both Saguna and Nirguna are true. Well. Therefore, the principle point, if you want to put it, can be called Para Brahman. Master also has used them. This is used by the Advaithins also. But I do not know whether they are clear except when they emphasise this aspect in thinking of God as transcendent to or interior to the creative point. There must be a condition when He is not a Creator. It is Nirguna. The posterior point then is Iswara. So these are the Nirguna and Saguna notions of the Ultimate Reality.
But Ultimate Reality, says our Master, is something more than these. It is higher than the Nirguna or Saguna conception of Brahman. It goes far beyond. The Ultimate Reality, which we should call God in the sense that it is that, you have to attain, perfect Reality. So our Master says all these discussions about Saguna and Nirguna are transcended. We soar far beyond the notions of Religion or philosophy. It is attractive to hold a non-personal and think that impersonal is superior to the personal. I do not agree to either notion. We are going far beyond both, a condition which is beyond the personal and beyond the impersonal and that is something which is not within the range of our normal experience. It is not within the reach of our reason or feeling.
Religion is described as an aesthetic approach to Reality and philosophy is said to be an intellectual approach to Reality. You may also say that God can be approached through the will aspect of man. But will goes beyond both the intellectual and aesthetic approaches and that is why Master wanted in each on of us a will to go beyond the frontiers of philosophy and religion. Will, in its purer form breaks through these two barriers of intellect and aesthetic. "A perfect will is needed" that is what he says. Thought in its purer form is not an idea. It is just an 'aspiration' a 'force' an 'urge'. So, that concept of Ultimate is as he calls 'Energy' goes beyond the intellectual and aesthetic. That condition is what we are aiming at and that is the Ultimate Reality. So, when Master describes in the circles, he shows that there is a Brahmanda area and beyond that Para Brahmanda and beyond that is the Central Region, place of the purest will.
