The seeker who worships the Lord with the form or the one who worships the Lord as nameless & formless? Nirguna upAsakAs or saguna upAsakAs? This question of Arjuna makes us think whether the Lord is with form or without form. To understand this, let us start from ourselves. Are we with form or without form? When asked thus, we say that we are both. i.e. we exist as form when seen at the gross level, but also, we exist without form as in the state of sleep or deep thinking. Hinduism embraces both ways of worship. i.e. worshipping the supreme reality in form and also without any form and attributes.
