Sri Ramakrishna said:
"God has form and He is formless too. Further, He is beyond both form and formlessness. No one can limit Him."
No can can limit the Universal Consciousness.
If someone thinks that only recluse can get Self-Realisation, a Lahiri Mahasaya is born.
If someone thinks that only devotees of Siva can get God-Realisation, a Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is born.
If someone thinks that only men can get God-Realisation, a Maa Anandamayi is born.
If someone thinks that God cannot be realised through idol worship, a Ramakrishna is born.
If someone thinks that God can only be realised through idol worship, a Ramana Maharshi is born.
If someone thinks that God can only be realized through rituals, a Buddha is born.
If someone thinks that God can only be realized in India, a Jesus Christ is born.
If someone thinks that only economically sound people can have realization, a Nisargadatta Maharaj is born.
If someone thinks that only grown-ups can get self-realization, a Jnana Sambandar is born.
If someone thinks that only learned people can get self-realization, a Sarada Devi is born.
If someone thinks a learned people can never get Self-realization, a Shankaracharya is born.
If someone thinks that one can get self-realisation only by satsangs of a personal guru, A J. Krishnamurthy is born.
Whenever there appeared to be a limiting opinion about Universal Consciousness, it reappears in a form and shows that it is beyond that limit also.
The Universal Consciousness is beyond all forms.
However for devotees It is amenable to all forms.
It is the Krishna of Krishna devotees.
It is the Shiva of Shiva devotees.
It is the Ramakrishna of Ramakrisha devotees.
If is the Ramana of Ramana devotees.
It is the Christ of Christ devotees.
It is the Buddha of Buddha devotees.
So Sri Ramakrisha said:
"God has form and He is formless too. Further, He is beyond both form and formlessness. No one can limit Him."
