It is said that God takes the form as per your desire. Does it not mean that He is formless?

[dattaswami]

Bismillah:


am afraid you are wrong... because according to your own scriptures, God was described as <b>FORMLESS</b>.


<b>It is mentioned in Yajurved, Chapter 32, Verse 3 </b> “There is no image of Him”
or in your language <i>“na tasya pratima asti”</i>


it is also mentioned in <b>Yajurved, Chapter 40, Verse 8,</b> “He is body less and pure”
“He hath attained unto the bright, bodiless, woundless, sinewless, the pure which evil hath not pierced. Far-sighted wise, encompassing, he self existent hath prescribed aims as propriety demands unto the everlasting years”



again, this is against your scriptures..


It is mentioned in <b>Bhagwad Geeta Chapter 7, Verse 20</b>, “Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires worship demigods” that is “Those who are materialistic, they worship demigods” i.e. besides the true God.



It is mentioned in Rigveda, Book 8, Hymn 1, Verse 1 <b>“Ma Chidanyadia Shansata”</b> “Do not worship <b>anybody but Him</b>, the divine one Praise Him alone”

Wael.

Thank you for your reply, when God comes in Human form He is not becoming that Body. God has entered that body. God do not have birth or death, but the body into which He enters have death and birth and it is not the God who takes brith and death. God enters into Human body to preach and uplift the Human souls by this human beings can approach Him and talk to Him , hear Him, touch Him, love Him and co-live with Him. Through Human Incarnation one can experience Lord.


Lord is substratum of the whole creation and hence forms base. Without Him creation cannot sustain. Lord created the universe for entertainment. He has given free will to all the human beings to do whatever they like. But, the results will follow the deeds. So, He is indirectly controlling, that is to say that enjoyment for good deeds and misery for bad deeds. Misery is to bring realisation only and not to repeat the same bad deed. Otherwise, He is not responsible for one's deeds.


Creation is in Lord but Lord is not the creation. But such a Lord can enter creation at the request of devotees who wants Him only and His service. He comes down to give four fortunes to His devotees (to talk, to touch, co-living and to serve).
