Saguna Brahman is the creator, preserver and destroy the world. If you say the world is an appearance, only God is or only Brahman is, then you are talking about Nirgunabrahman. In eight chapter and nine chapter is not talking about two different things. The surface of it is a person upon investigation it's pure consciousness. And they are not equal realities. Pure consciousness is the reality, is the truth about you. Your personality, body, mind is the appearance like the part of the golden ornament. What all sorts of things I'm called upon to talk about, you won't believe it. Madhusudan Saraswati, Guru Arth
