The finite does not actually exist.  It only appears to do so because of 
maya.

As a consequence of 1, when the delusionary gunas are negated then what is 
left is the nirguna brahman.

No only the conventional (vyavaharic) knowledge which is based on the

need to "know" Brahman because you are and always have been Brahman.  Only 
maya deluded you into forgetting that.
