The Lord Has Eternal Form and Potencies
“Are you describing as formless that Supreme Personality of Godhead whose transcendental form is complete with six transcendental opulences?
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Lord has an eternal personal form, complete with six transcendental opulences.
- His ability to walk very fast and accept offerings challenges the claim that He is formless. The Māyāvādī philosophers reject the direct meaning of the Vedic mantras to establish that claim.
- The Absolute Truth is not without potency. The Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad clearly states that He has multipotencies.
