Don't Ever Be Depressed. Always Be Impressed.

Don't ever be depressed. Instead, you should always be impressed with the unlimitedly amazing glories of Krishna, which He is personally manifesting within and without you at every minute. In other words if you are being constantly awed by the stupendous attributes of Krishna at every minute, you will always be so impressed that you will never have empty space in your heart for being even slightly depressed.

Question: Can Krishna Make Himself Formless?

Srila Gurudeva,

All glories to you!

Is it possible for Lord Krishna to make Himself formless if He wanted to, since nothing is impossible for Him?

Thank you for guiding me.

Answer: Yes, As the Impersonal Brahman

Due to the inconceivable potency of the Lord it is possible for Him to do the impossible. In other words, He can be with form and without form both at the same time. And this is what He in fact does. His original position as Krishna is with form, and from that original form He manifests the impersonal formless Brahman, which is described as follows by Lord Brahma in the Brahma-samhita 5.40:

yasya prabhā prabhavato jagad-aṇḍa-koṭi
koṭiṣv aśeṣa-vasudhādi vibhūti-bhinnam
tad brahma niṣkalam anantam aśeṣa-bhūtaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, whose effulgence is the source of the nondifferentiated Brahman mentioned in the Upanisads, being differentiated from the infinity of glories of the mundane universe appears as the indivisible, infinite, limitless, truth."

So Krishna manifests form and formlessness simultaneously. His original state is with form and from that original form He expands out His formless nature. This is compared to the sun globe which has a form but expands out formless sunrays throughout the universe.
