Pranams to all.

Nirguna is not nothingness. It is the fullness of everything that is good. From a distance this fullness becomes inconceivable and so the sages called it Nirguna. – Sri Swami Sivananda

Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself. – Sri Swami Sivananda

From Chapter III: “Vibhuti Pada – On Divine Powers”

III.22. ETENA SABDADY ANTARDHANAM UKTAM
‘From this can also be explained the disappearance of sound and other physical phenomena’.

III.23. SOPAKRAMAM NIRUPAKRAMAM CA KARMA TAT-SAMYMA APARANTA-JNANAM ARISTEBHYO VA
‘Karma may be either dormant or active; by performing samyama on both, and through omens, the yogi may know the time of death’.

III.24. MAITRY-ADISU BALANI
‘(By performing samyama) on friendliness (mercy, love etc. ), their strengths are gained’.

In Nirguna Brahman, there are no Gunas of Maya. – Sri Swami Sivananda

Chapter V: The Yoga of Renunciation of Action

V.16. JNAANENA TU TAD AJNAANAM YESHAAM NAASHITAM AATMANAH; TESHAAM AADITYAVAJ JNAANAM PRAKAASHAYATI TATPARAM.
(Krishna speaking to Arjuna) But, to those whose ignorance is destroyed by knowledge of the Self, like the sun, knowledge reveals the Supreme (Brahman).

V.17. TADBUDDHAYAS TADAATMAANAS TANNISHTHAAS TATPARAAYANAAH; GACCHANTYAPUNARAAVRITTIM JNAANA NIRDHOOTA KALMASHAAH.
Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That; established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.

If anyone injures you, forgive him and forget the injury done by him. You will gain immense spiritual strength. – Sri Swami Sivananda
