God: The form and formless are inseparably linked

As our divine vision grows, we begin to see God in all things. He is the essence of self and everything that exists

God is like the wind – sometimes awe-inspiring sometimes soothing and gentle. In snow-swept lands, gusts blow icy cold and terrifyingly hard.

On tropical shores, the breeze is pleasantly warm and reassuringly gentle. The wind has no form, but all we know it is present at a certain place and time.

The warmth or coldness of the wind is dependent on dust, moisture and sunset. God is without form, but we know Him through His creation.

We know of His love and wisdom by seeing His beauty around us.

As our divine vision grows, we begin to see God in all things. He is the essence of self and everything that exists.

Through spiritual discipline we find unity hidden in diversity. The form and formless are inseparably linked.

Whether one worships God by a particular name and form or whether one worships the formless persuasiveness of God the results of our devotion are the same. God exists in both.
