Kariyani-8: The Sagun and Nirgun Forms of God

Summary

1. Sagun and nirgun aspects are the special, divine powers of God.

1. The nirgun form of God is much subtler than that which is subtle [sukshma], pure, untainted and unaffected by the five bhuts [pruthvi, jal, tej, vāyu, ākāsh], powerful, and luminous.
2. The sagun form of God is extremely vast such that the infinite brahmānds are like mere atoms in comparison.

2. The manifest form of God visible in a human form is the eternal and original form of God.
3. If a devotee realises the nirgun and sagun aspects in God’s form in this manner, then kāl, karma and māyā would be incapable of binding him, and throughout the day he would continuously experience wonder in his heart.
