<!--QuoteBegin-Ashok Kumar+Jan 27 2005, 04:22 AM-->QUOTE(Ashok Kumar @ Jan 27 2005, 04:22 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> I define something called 'non-brahman'.  Since brahman according to the quote is 'everything' , is brahman also the non-brahman?

In the quote the words 'unreal' and 'exists' have been used to basically say thet 'unreal exists', which is same as saying 'non-existent exists'. Also  'brahman transcends reality and unreality' can be rephrased as 'reality transcends reality and unreality'. 

<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There can be no non-Brahman if Brahman is everything. The quote that Brahman is beyond the reality-unreality paradigm is only another way of saying that the human mind can not grasp Brahman in its entirety.
