Does the formless God take a form for devotees?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The formless divine does not take a body; it is your intense devotion that shapes consciousness into the form you love, allowing the Divine to manifest through you."
According to Osho, the formless divine does not objectively take a body; your intense devotional feeling shapes consciousness into the form you love—Krishna, Christ, Rama. The vision is inner and subjective: your own light appears as that figure. When feeling becomes total, you fade as a person and the Divine manifests through you. Hence many forms are valid, none exclusive.
God is formless, and your deep love gives God a face inside you.
