No matter how
much one may talk about the formless and the unmanifest, it is mere talk, and does not
really convey anything to you. Whatever experience
your mind has are all experiences of form and shape.
You have no experience of the formless and the words cannot
create any reso- nance in you about that which you have no experience of.
You will go on talking about the formless and continue
living with the form.
So, if you want to establish a relationship with the
formless, you will have to establish a relationship with the formless, you will have to
create something which on one side has a form and on the other is formless.
That is the secret of the murti, the idol. |
