Guest guest Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 It is often thought by those who not self-realized that since we cannot see the form of God He must not have a form and that because we have a form we have imagined that He also has a form. This is like our friend Dr. Frog who had never experienced a body of water bigger than his well and therefore concluded that his well was the biggest body of water in the entire world. When our knowledge is limited we should take help from those who have greater knowledge. The great acaryas such as Lord Brahma have personally seen God and have very nicely shared with us what they have experienced. If we take advantage of their knowledge, we will easily become knowledgable. A little boy may not understand mathematics. But when his father tells him that two plus two equals four and he repeats it, he is speaking perfect knowledge. Similarly, if we hear from the great acaryas what the form of God looks like and we repeat that description, we are speaking with perfect knowledge. Sankarshan Das Adhikari-- At the present moment our minds are polluted with the dirt accumulated over millions and millions of lifetimes of sense gratification. Even though our original pure nature is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss, due to our mental contamination we are presently suffering in the realm of temporality, ignorance, and misery. By the purificatory process of chanting the holy names of God we can revive our original, pure nature and thus relish the sweetest happiness at every minute.
