A certain monk went to the temple of Jagannath at Puri. He had doubts as to whether God is with form or without form. When he saw the holy image, he desired to examine it and settle his doubt. He passed his staff from the left to the right in order to feel if it touched the image. For a time, he could not see anything or feel anything with the staff. So he decided that God was without form.When he was about to pass the staff from the right to the left, it touched the image.
So the monk decided that God is both with form and without form. (131)
