________________ 18 Aptavani-8 Dadashri: You do not have to imagine its form. Instead, you just have to sit with a God who has shape and form (the One in whom God has manifested). The God with form is himself the form of the Atma! The Atmagnani, who has a body, is called a God with form (sakaari Bhagwan). That is how you should imagine it, and with that you worship his entire temple (his body in which God has manifested). Otherwise, the Atma has no form whatsoever. Its formless nature, you will have to discover from the Gnani Purush! Thereafter, you will comprehend its nature and it will fit (make sense), so that you will never forget it. So the Atma has no form; it is formless. Nevertheless, by nature what is the Atma like? Whichever body it is in, it will assume its form; it is in the form of the body it occupies. But there in the realm of Liberated Souls (Siddha gati), in the last stage of its form, a third of its form is reduced. Therefore, only two-thirds of its form remains in the final life before liberation (charam deha). So the body coming from the fifth ara (present age of the time-cycle) is vastly different to the body that comes from the third ara (age of the time cycle). The height there is different from the height of this era. But the form that arrives at the realm of the Liberated Souls (Siddha gati) will be according to the final body through which moksha is attained (charam sharira). But the Atma is formless (nirakar)! Questioner: Is there anything like a shadow over there? What is over there? Dadashri: No, there is nothing like shadow over there. There is nothing like that out there. Shadow is the non-Self body complex (pudgal). Questioner: If we move our hands about in the air and catch nothing, when we do the same in final liberation (moksha), would we hit anything?
