Is it as 'simple' as that, Jerry?   That's what I'm asking - albeit the
words can get in the way, if we let them.

If Parabrahm is beyond the duality of 'cause and effect'.

and..

"If neither Atma nor Buddhi are ever reached by Karma" as HPB states.

Then what does it mean to 'attain', or 'reach', Nirvana (or whatever words
we might want to use)?

Regards

  Peter
