FORMLESS FORMS🔗

As long as you think you are a form, you can't relate with the formless. Even if you think of something as formless, you will again be giving it a form, maybe the sky or ocean, something vast, but again it is going to be one more form. How many of you can visualize the formless without visualizing a sky or open space or ocean? Tell me honestly. If you say the formless just IS, it's an experience. If you experience, then it is okay. You don't need anything. But you cannot start with that experience. You can only start from where you are. I have seen many people who start straight away with the formless, but they don't feel totally connected. That is why in Eastern religions, they have the initial step as worship through idols as a way of relating and connecting. Once you master that, you can feel it everywhere. At least I can say from my experience, surely a person in the initial level cannot relate to the formless directly. You may say it but if you do an honest check with yourself, you will see you can't do it, because it takes some maturity to relate to the formless.
