THE VISION OF THE COSMIC FORM
 
The Quintessence

14. On this description of the Lord's divine form I do not wish to dwell with my mind; to approach it with the mind would be sin. Let us read again and again the holy verses describing the cosmic form and become pure. I do not like to employ the mind to cut up the Lord's form. It would be like the aghora form of worship. Those who follow this path go to the cremation ground and tearing of corpses perform tantra worship. The divine form of the Lord -

"vishvataschakshuruta vishvatomukho
vishvato baahuruta vishvataspaat."


it is widespread, infinite. Let us recite the verses describing it, cleanse the mind of sin, purify it.

15. In this description of the Lord there is only one point at which the mind begins to think. The Lord tells Arjuna, "Arjuna, all these are mortal; make yourself an occasion, an instrument - I am the real doer of all action." These words keep ringing in one's heart.
