Then Dinãnãth Bhatt asked, “Should one who wishes to meditate on God’s form understand it as being composed of the elements or understand it as not being composed of the elements?”
Shriji Mahãrãj replied, “One who understands God’s form as being composed of the elements is a sinner, and one who understands God’s form as not being composed of the elements is also a sinner. Those who are devotees of God do not at all like to senselessly quibble over whether or not God’s form is composed of the elements. A devotee realises, ‘God is God. There is no scope for dividing or discarding any part of Him. That very God is the souls of countless universes.’ One who has no doubts at all regarding the nature of God should be known to have attained the nirvikalp state. One with such stable understanding should be known as ‘sthitapragna’. Moreover, God redeems all the sins of a person who has such stable understanding regarding God.”
[Gadhadã II-17]
