The terms ‘nirguṇa’ and  ‘saguṇa’ are very commonly employed in Hindu philosophy when the nature of the Absolute Reality ‘Brahman’ is being described. The word nirguṇa is usually translated as ‘without qualities’ or \'qualityless\' and saguna as \'qualified\' or ‘with qualities’. Thus, we have terms like nirguṇa Brahman and saguṇa Brahman which people often mistakenly think, refer to Brahman without qualities and Brahman with qualities respectively. However, this is not the true import of nirguna Brahman and saguna Brahman. In this video Babaji and Rajiv provide a clarification of these very important concepts in Indian thought and the inaccurate nature of their English translations.
