Is God a Person (form) or Impersonal (formless)?

When sometimes God is described as impersonal, that does not mean that He has no personality. He has His personality, but He is not a person like us. He is not a person like us. That is called impersonal. Impersonal does not mean that He has no personality, but the experience of our personality, God is not like that. In the Vedas they are very nicely explained, pasyaty acaksuh: "God sees, but He has no eyes." Srnoty akarnah: "He has no ears, but He can hear." If He cannot hear, then what is the use of our offering prayer? He hears, but He does not hear like us. We cannot hear in a distant place, a few yards. But God, He is in His kingom. Still, if you offer prayer He can hear. That is God.

Srnoty akarnah pasyaty acaksuh. He is seeing everything, every action of your activities, but that kind of eyes, seeing everything-not only of my activities; your activities, his activities, everyone's activities-we haven't got such eyes. Therefore, when He is spoken of, that "He has no eyes," that means He has no eyes like us. It is to be under Acaksuh. He hasn't got eyes like this-I cannot see more than hundred feet. But He can see everywhere. Sarvatah pani-padas tat: "He has got His hands and legs everywhere." He has got His eyes everywhere.
