Understanding this quote
The quote explains “Nirgunam” as the view that the Infinite does not depend on qualities that describe its relationship with finite things. “Creatorhood” is given as an example: being a creator is not part of the Divine Nature itself, but a way of describing its relation to what is created. In simple terms, the Divine remains what it is independently of these relational attributes.
