Impersonal and personal go together

Pantheism is the primary way to see God▪︎ No one sees God in person or directly ▪︎ Seeing by the eyes or the ears? ▪︎ Monotheism is a myth.  

"The Supreme Lord is understood in two features — impersonal and personal. If one considers the Supreme Personality of Godhead in both features, he can actually understand the Absolute Truth. He knows that the personal understanding is stronger because we see that everything is full of variety. No one can see anything that is not full of variety." CC. Madhya ch 6. 142.

We declare that Brahman is impersonal and Paramatma personal. This information is given in the Vaishnava Scriptures as an ontological axiom. It is however relevant to add that no one can see the Supersoul, neither have a personal relation with Him. A human being is confronted with the same spiritual interaction be it Brahman or Paramatma. Both entities belong to the Pantheism idea. Apparently, everything in the universe works automatically, although we are told that the demigods are active behind the curtain, according to Vedic scriptures. (Devotees ignore the demigods or the Gods controled by Indra. Their focus is on Krishna, only.)

"Seeing God is not exactly seeing with the eyes", says Prabhupada. "Devotees can see God through the ears by the process of hearing, if the conditions are favorable. Just like sometimes you cannot see the sun. Not that the sun is not there, but you cannot see. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is always present before us, but we cannot see Him. When he was living in Dvarkala, there were so many hundreds and millions of men on the surface of the globe; only few could see Him."

There are two ways of seeing God; by destiny or by intelligence: if you were present in or visiting Dwarka, to pick up on this example, or by understanding that Krishna was living there, like you heard it from someone. You decide what is the most efficient perception: hearing or seeing. 

But let's not deceive ourselves, this comparison with the sun is not appropriate. Krishna was present in Dwarka 5000 years ago. He disappeared with the destruction of the town by a tsunami, as the lila is reported in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. That was his last apparition on earth. Regarding the sun, in fact everyone can see it, normally, which is not the case with Krishna. It goes the same for Paramatma; only the yogis of a bygone age could hope to see him, this yoga is no practicable in Kali-yuga.

That is the meaning of pantheism; you see God everywhere, not exactly with your eyes, but with the help of the intelligence. You see or understand that Paramatma —another mask of God— stands alive in each and every atom. And Brahman's omnipresent energy allows the connections of all things in the universe.

When one of the drawings on the Universal Form comes into my mind, such the one I published here, I see many different Forms, not only one. God is one, but it is relative, it is a way of speaking, because God exists always with other Gods. One God alone is artificial. Like monotheism is. "No one can see anything that is not full of variety." The principle of an Absolute One God induces no choice, logically. No choice means no love with a capital letter.
