Then Gopalanand Swami asked, Oh Maharaj ! certain Vedantis hold that God has no form and cite in support of their statement such Shrutis. Whereas devotees like Narad, Shuka and the Sanaks hold that God has form and cite such Pramans of Shrutis. Who out of these is correct ?
Shriji Maharaj replying to the question said, Lord Purushottam6 is always Sakaar with form and resplendent with divine light. His Antaryami from, which is Satchitanand and which is all prevading is the divine light emanating from the divine form of Shri Purushottam Bhagvan. The Shruti says, The lord looks towards Maya. When the lord sees, has he only eyes and no other limbs? Therefore he is always Sakar. Varuna, the God of water is Sakar8 in his Loka9 and in the form of water, he is formless. The God of fire is Sakar in his Loka9, Where as the flames emanating have no form. and again the Sun God has a form in his Loka9, Whereas in the form of rays, he is formless. Similarly Sat-Chit-Anand, the all pervading divine light of Lord Purushottam, is formless but Lord Purushottam is always Sakar.
Now if a doubt is raised that the Shrutis describe God as having no limbs and is all pervading, one should understand the correct interpretation of such Shrutis which imply that God has no physical limbs but possess a divine form. The Antaryami11 form of God who pervades the Jivas and Ishwaras is the divine light emanatimg from the divine form of Purusottam, and yet since it is the giver of fruits to the Jivasand Ishwaras according to their Karmas, Sat-Chit-Anand the divine light of Purusottam6 is also described as Sakar8 and those who describe it as formless have no knowledge.
Out of thousands of men, but a single one endeavors for perfection, and of those endeavoring thus, there is indeed but a single one who really knows Me in essence. At the end of many births, the wise man comes to Me, realizing (Vaasudeva is all that is) - such a great soul is indeed very rare.
"After attaining Me, the great souls do not incur rebirth in this miserable transitory world, because they have attained the highest perfection."
Fix your mind on Me, be devoted to Me, offer service to Me, bow down to Me, and you shall certainly reach Me. I promise you because you are My very dear friend
"Setting aside all meritorious deeds (Dharma), just surrender completely to My will (with firm faith and loving contemplation). I shall liberate you from all sins. Do not fear.
To those who are continually devoted and worship me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to me." (10.10)
"O Arjuna! There does not exist any object other than Me. The whole world is tied inside Me, like the pearls in the string of a necklace. Those who are entangled in the material world do not know of this true form of Mine. But the person who surrenders himself to Me completely and remembers Me regularly, is able to reach the stage which is beyond birth and death. Even though the solution is so simple, but all those whose mind has been misguided by the spell of materialistic pleasures, have devilish tendencies, and are indulged in corruption and petty acts, foolishly do not meditate on Me."
I would rather take Krishnas advice than yours lol.
