		<description>Brother Spirit, I am not disappointed by this debate. It gave me an opportunity to re-visit my Gita book. I believe even you would take it that way. Only thing is that we need to study the thoughts of other scholars also, instead of sticking to one school of thought. But of-course I agree that, to develop unshaken devotion, one need to dedicate to one path alone. For me it really doesn&#039;t matter whether God has a form or not, whether he is transcendental or in the form of Jeeva, the only thing I am pretty sure about is that I am there. I exist. Everything else I can claim to know only when I experience it without the help of external aids including the senses. Good bye and take care.</description>

		<description>Brother KKR, 

&#039;&#039;&lt;/i&gt; “Where is your omniscience” ? If you fall in to an hypnotic state and believe yourself that you are a cat or monkey you will behave like one. In that state your personality of a cat or monkey is real and you wouldn’t remember whether you are a Scientist / Leader / Scholar / Soldier as long as you are in that state&lt;/i&gt;

What??? I pinched my skin and understood I am not dreaming. Mine (God&#039;s) characteristic would become like a monkey or a cat. A cat eats fish. Does God eat fish???

&#039;&#039;&lt;/i&gt;Like the great superstar wearing many attires for acting as funny characters and multi roles&lt;/i&gt;&#039;&#039;

Lol. What else would you do for imposing your ideas to me?? Really I made a huge mistake conceiving you a scholar and consumed my time. You sound like that idiot Zakir Naik. You are comparing the actors with Supreme Brahmin! Funny.... Good bye for now. I wanted to learn from you but you disappointed me....... Good bye......</description>

material elements, and therefore the sense activities are exhibited through
matter. The Supreme Lord’s senses are not so covered. His senses are
transcendental and are therefore called nirguëa. Guëa means the material
modes, but His senses are without material covering. It should be understood
that His senses are not exactly like ours. Although He is the source of all our
sensory activities, He has His transcendental senses, which are
uncontaminated. This is very nicely explained in the Çvetäçvatara Upaniñad
(3.19) in the verse apäëi-pädo javano grahétä. The Supreme Personality of
Godhead has no hands which are materially contaminated, but He has His
hands and accepts whatever sacrifice is offered to Him. That is the distinction
between the conditioned soul and the Supersoul. He has no material eyes, but
He has eyes—otherwise how could He see? He sees everything—past, present
and future. He lives within the heart of the living being, and He knows what
we have done in the past, what we are doing now, and what is awaiting us in
the future. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gétä: He knows everything, but
no one knows Him. It is said that the Supreme Lord has no legs like us, but He
can travel throughout space because He has spiritual legs. In other words, the
Lord is not impersonal; He has His eyes, legs, hands and everything else, and
because we are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord we also have these...</description>

		<description>Ch. 13 V. 13
   &#039;&#039;I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal.
Brahman, the spirit, beginningless and subordinate to Me, lies beyond the cause
and effect of this material world.&#039;&#039;

The Lord has explained the field of activities and the knower of the field.
He has also explained the process of knowing the knower of the field of
activities. Now He begins to explain the knowable, first the soul and then the
Supersoul. By knowledge of the knower, both the soul and the Supersoul, one
can relish the nectar of life. As explained in the Second Chapter, the living
entity is eternal. This is also confirmed here. There is no specific date at which
the jéva was born. Nor can anyone trace out the history of the jévätmä’s
manifestation from the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is beginningless. The
Vedic literature confirms this: na jäyate mriyate vä vipaçcit (Kaöha Upaniñad
1.2.18). The knower of the body is never born and never dies, and he is full of
knowledge.
The Supreme Lord as the Supersoul is also stated in the Vedic literature
(Çvetäçvatara Upaniñad 6.16) to be pradhäna-kñetrajïa-patir guëeçaù, the chief
knower of the body and the master of the three modes of material nature. In
the småti it is said, däsa-bhüto harer eva nänyasvaiva kadäcana. The living
entities are eternally in the service of the Supreme Lord. This is also
confirmed by Lord Caitanya in His teachings. Therefore the description of
Brahman mentioned in this verse is in relation to the individual soul, and
when the word Brahman is applied to the living entity, it is to be understood
that he is vijïäna-brahma as opposed to änanda-brahma. Änanda-brahma is the
Supreme Brahman Personality of Godhead.</description>

		<description>Ch. 7 V. 24
Unable to comprehend my imperishable, exalted and supreme state of being; the spirituality deficient regard Me, the unmenifest as coming into existent.

What is so special that differentiates Lord Krishna from all other demigods? He clarifies this by the word avyaktam meaning transcendent explaining by the words vyaktim apannam accepting a human like form for His lila or phenomenal pastimes. Superior and transcendental to prakriti  or the material substratum pervading physical existence, He has never any actions to perform. The Supreme Lord who is eternally blissful is considered as having a spiritual body with personality, qualities and attributes. Therefore the Vedic scriptures have stated that without knowing the ultimate truth of the Supreme Lord&#039;s existence everyone remains deluded.

Now begins the summation.

The Supreme Lord is transcendental to prakriti whereas the jiva or embodied living entity is not. Those who believe that there is equality between them or that there is a dependency shared between them surely in the next life go to the dark worlds of ignorance in obscurity, where is your place......</description>
