The text describes the Self as 'Unqualified' (Nirguna). How should one understand this concept without misinterpreting it as nothingness?

Chapter 37 describes the Self as 'Unqualified' (Nirguna), meaning it is without qualities we can perceive—it is without sound, form, beginning, end, taste, or smell. It is eternal, indivisible, and changeless. However, the text provides a critical warning against misinterpretation. It explicitly states that one should not, out of ignorance, think of this 'Unqualified' nature as being invisible, non-existent, or a 'void.' Instead, the guidance is to 'drive away this ignorance through knowledge.' This means the correct approach is to comprehend the Nirguna Self not as nothingness, but as a profound reality that transcends all sensory attributes and intellectual categories.
