What has that to do with all possibilities.
Nagarjuna's Four Negations: Brahman is not the relative. Brahman is not the Absolute. Brahman is not both the relative and the Absolute. Brahman is not neither the relative nor the Absolute. Nagarjuna was a medieval Buddhist Advaitin and logician. He made four logical arguments that ended with the four conclusions above. The bottom line being that there is nothing that can be said about Brahman, positive or negative, of which the opposite is not also the case, because Brahman is One without a second. "All possibilities" is one way of putting it, but it doesn't quite convey how radical the Advaita paradox is. ------------------------ Yahoo!
