The Bhagavan, described in the Puranas, is not only the Nirguna-nirvikara-adwithiya Brahmam, the Thing to be known, the Chithswarupa, the Origin of the Universe. He is also the repository of all the Noble, Elevating and Attracting Qualities; He is the Reminder and refuge of all that is beautiful and loving. He lifts, energies and purifies. The Unmanifested Nirguna Brahmam cognised at the climax of the Jnanamarga cannot be grasped by the sense-centered individual, without great travail and trouble. This is the reason why the Puranas dwell so much more on the Saguna aspect than on the Nirguna aspect of Godhead. First, the aspirant has to practise the Sadhana related to the Saguna aspect of God; this will endow him with concentration and, later according to the law of procedure from the gross to the subtle, he can merge his mind in the Nirguna Brahmam itself. The mirage leads the thirsty man far away from the tank, he then turns away and returns to the place where water is available; reaching the tank, he becomes competent to drink and slake his thirst. This is called the Sthulasourambhikaanyaya. So too, aspirants after Moksha do get the desire for Nirgunopasana; the Lord who is attached to the Bhakthas takes up the forms which the Sadhus and Mahatmas seek. He grants, out of his bounty, the Purusharthas; all four.
