305. Vyakta-roopah -He who has a form- clearly perceptible to the

meditator in his meditation. The contradiction is so smotheringly

apparent because of the very placing of the term. It is only just-now,

in the above term, that we are told that the Lord is imperceptible

(Adrisyah) and the very following term declares that He is perceptible.

Here it means that though He is not perceptible with the physical

instruments of perceptions, yet on transcending the equipments, the

Yogi intimately comes to experience the entire Divine Glory of the

Self. Though, ordinarily it is not easy to see Him, in the devotee's

heart, the Lord comes to play vividly and drives the devotee mad in his

ecstasy.
