EVEN THE IMPERSONAL IS PERSONAL INDIRECTLY

How great Thou art...
We have been posting and discussing the universal form of the Lord recently.

"The universal form of the Lord, or the impersonal feature of the Lord known as brahmajyoti, is clearly explained here, compared to the radiation of the sun. The sunshine may expand all over the universe, but the source of the sunshine, namely the sun planet or the deity known as the Suryanarayana, is the basis of such radiation." SB 2.6.17 purport

The universal form is described in the same purport as a "secondary imagination of the brahmajyoti." It is interesting to note that even the impersonal feature of the lord is actually personal...in an indirect way.

"So the universal form of the Lord is the secondary imagination of the impersonal form of the Lord, but the primary form of the Lord is Syamasundara, with two hands, playing on His eternal flute." SB 2.6.17 purport
