One can not separate the qualities or attributes of an object from the Object.
If for example, we strip of all the qualities of a Rose by which we identify a Rose, we are left with nothing to conceive of a Rose!
In Advaita, qualities are inherent in the objects and in Reality they are not separate from them .
And we are the Reality.
The Reality is reflected in us because of our ignorance,called Avidya, Nescience.
Once this ignorance is removed our original State dawns.
