In order to get rid of the contradiction, one will have to come into the formless intent. ‘We’ (the Gnani) see the formless as formless and we remain in the intent of the formless. To project a shape or form for the Self that is formless is tantamount to chopping off the Self. What a grave mistake is committed!”
