Krishna (Hindu deity)
But what does this Body of God look like? Is it like a human body? The
answer is: Yes, but of a perfection of shape, symmetry and beauty, with
which no human body can be compared; it is the Original Body, of which
the human body is a poor imitation.
The question will be asked: Has God then as good a finite body as any of
us? The answer is; NO, in capital letters. God's Body is no more finite
than the human body is. There is nothing in Nature which is finite, not
even a blade of grass, or the tiniest speck of earth.
All is infinite—all that you see around you, or perceive within you.
There is no such word as finite in the dictionary of Nature, in the
lexicon of Creation. All, all that looks ever so small and circumscribed
to the fleshly eye of ignorance, is vast and endless to the eye of
spiritual wisdom. All that to the physical sight is limited in shape and
life is before the vision of the soulful student of Creation's
mysterious laws limitless beyond grasp.
Take a grain of earth, and try to trace its origin by the light of the
discoveries made by sages who probed into the inmost depths of Nature
with the needle of pure spiritual concentration, and you will find that
that grain of earth has sprung from Water, Water from Fire, Fire from
Air, Air from Ether, and Ether from Sound, Sound from Mind in its effort
to cognize outside of it objects projecting from within itself, Mind
from Ego, Ego from Consciousness, and Consciousness from the Infinite
Love-ocean, the basic principle of Creation.
Can you call this grain of earth finite by any means or chance,
especially when you come to know the mysterious laws by which that grain
of earth develops into a blade of grass, and then, through myriads of
reincarnations of different life-forms, goes back and merges into the
Ocean of Love, from which it had originally sprung?
From Love to earth and from earth to Love, thus is made up the circle of
creation, and every point in its circumference is but a moving phase of
the Infinite in manifestation, Man being but a stage in the upward
evolution of the atom or a particle of earth, and his soul being a part
of the Universal Soul—a wavelet of the Love-Ocean—he is as immense in
every way as the universe itself, as infinite as the Essense of
Infinity. His form is but the centre of his abstract Self, called Soul.
This form is concrete-looking, but it is so only to the circumscribed
vision of the fleshly eye of ignorance.
