I think the point may have slipped past you. What Naropa is saying, 
if I understand him correctly, is not to think while meditating. The 
object is not attained by cogitating. You are free to think while 
not meditating even if following the Mahamudra path.

Also, nihilism is a political philosophy akin to anarchism. What I 
was saying is that a rock has no purpose. It just is. Since it is 
not egocentric the way most humans are it does not imagine that it 
has a purpose. It simply is, and it is because it is. Iys existence 
requires no special justification.
