of infinite qualities (guna). It has so many qualities that you cannot even begin to describe them! The Atma is the abode of its innate natural qualities (swabhavik guna), so that those qualities (guna) are such that they will never ever change. There is infinite Knowledge (anant Gnan), there is infinite Vision (anant Darshan), infinite energy (anant shakti), it is the abode of infinite bliss (anant sukh), its nature is that nothing can ever hurt it, nor does it ever hurt anything (avyabaadh swaroop). It possesses all kinds of such innate qualities.

Manifest?
Not even for a second have you attained a single one. At the moment, you are experiencing the innate qualities (guna) of the mind-speech-body complex (the prakruti). You will attain the innate qualities according to your belief. If you remain as Chandubhai, you will attain the qualities of the prakruti, and if 'You' become the pure Self (shuddha chaitanya), then 'Your' own natural qualities (swabhavik guna) will arise. So sit wherever you want to.
Where there is no presence of the Atma's innate qualities (guna); there is no Atma. As long as this gold maintains its own innate property (guna), it is gold, and it does not assume the property of anything else. All the properties (guna) that you see in the world, belong to something else; there is no Self (Atma) there. There, the Self remains the Knower-Seer (GnataDrashta), but it is not a part of it. The Atma has not become integrated in this. The Atma is not mixed; the Atma is immiscible (nirbhedda)!

Dadashri: You cannot see air, and yet do you not know
