What’s the Form of God?
2021-04-16 • What’s the Form of God? • B.S.Goswāmī Mahārāja • CNX • [en]
00:01:23 Why do some people think they’re God? Why the soul is so forgetful?
00:26:30 The form of God
00:32:50 The doors of perception
00:36:32 Competing narratives
00:46:17 Only Krishna. Accept no substitute. Rukmiṇī Devī.
Q: Why do some people think they’re God?
Q: There is an expression: “More abundant the blessings, the more we forget to pray.” Why is it so? Is forgetfulness inevitable for a jīva-soul?
Forgetfulness of Krishna; “the monarch of all I survey”; humanism and “master”-element in people; “just do it!”; humanism and māyāvād “I am God”; does God have form?; Krishna-bhakti is the answer to everything; on eros and dust; how to break free from the lust?; everything has a form; a correspondent infinite for each sense of perception; competing narratives: materialistic and Vedic; only Krishna—accept no substitute; Rukmiṇī Devī’s prayers; beauty eternal and temporary; suffering from remembrance and forgetfulness of Krishna; no abstraction; devotion to Krishna and His devotees is everything.
Consciousness enables you to feel pleasure. Without consciousness—like anaesthetic—you don’t feel pleasure or pain. So consciousness enables us to feel. And we are hardwired to search for happiness.
A cluster of subjective concepts is an object.
Keywords: Humanism, mastership, lordship, forgetfulness of the Lord, advertising, conflict, monism, māyāvād, form, A Litany in Time of Plague, Thomas Nashe, Shakespeare, senses, suffering, Shelley, Ozymandias, A.L. Basham, Blake, doors of perception, Hrishikesh, Rukmiṇī, hearing.
