God is in both form and formless state. Worshiping God’s form is referred as- Bhakti Yoga, this is right brain oriented. And Worshiping God in invisible form is left brain oriented. The left brain is rational, analytical and problem solving, etc. The right brain is artistic, intuitive and subjective, etc.
The people who worship God as in invisible form, often says: God is the projection of mind; but the people who worship God in visible form, may take invisible form of God as atheism. But Gita is very clear, let’s carry on what Krishna says.
Krishna says –
The people, who connect their mind with the visible form of God and worship with firm belief, are said to be the devotees of Bhakti Yoga.
But the people, who control their senses, and have evenness to everybody, worship the invisible form of God as truth, which is out of sensual experience, and is: omnipresent, unthinkable, eternal and immovable. They also get the God.
Krishna giving alternates to Arjuna -
Hey Arjuna! If you can’t connect your mind to God with firm faith, then do the Bhakti Yoga. If you can’t do Bhakti Yoga, then do Karma for God. And, even you can’t do Karma for God, then leave the fruits (results) of your karma, and try to be in soul consciousness.
How flexible Krishna’s teachings are, but you can hear different explanation of different slokas from different people. Actually different conscious levels give different meaning, and the people of same conscious levels, understand each other words and sentences better.
Great teachings never create duality in mind, but misrepresentation of basic facts makes the hell. That’s why separate religions have created.
