Do you think the sunlight is a hundred miles? You cannot estimate—millions and millions of miles. So what hundred miles cloud can cover the sun? The hundred miles, “One cloud can cover my eyes”. And we say: "Today sun is covered by the cloud." That is our ignorance.

As soon as there is shortage of sunlight, the place becomes immediately condemned. As soon as there is sunlight, we feel pleasure, "Oh, today is very sunny day, nice."

So sunlight is always there, but it is being covered. The sunlight is not covered, sun is not covered, but our eyes are covered. Suppose there is cloud. A cloud may expand, say, a hundred miles. But do you think the sunlight is a hundred miles? You cannot estimate—millions and millions of miles. So what hundred miles cloud can cover the sun? The hundred miles, “One cloud can cover my eyes”. And we say: "Today sun is covered by the cloud." That is our ignorance.

Similarly, the Supreme Brahman, who is spreading the effulgence of light, He cannot be covered. We are covered. We, the small particles, we are covered. Mohita. Tribhir guṇamayair bhāvair mohitam. Mām eva nābhijānāti ([[Vanisource:BG 7.13 (1972)|BG 7.13]]). In the Bhagavad-gītā this is. They are bewildered by this external energy. Their eyes have been covered. Their eyes . . . our, because we are very small, so our senses, the capacity of the senses, they are also limited. Although we have got all the qualities, because fire and a spark of fire qualitatively the same, but qualitatively (quantitatively) different. Similarly, we are Brahman, and Kṛṣṇa is Para-brahman, Supreme Brahman. Nityo nityānām, the chief of the all eternals. Cetanaś cetanānām. He is the supreme living entity of all living entities. He is also living entity. So if I am a living entity, I have got a form, so why the supreme living entity will not have a form?

This is poor fund of knowledge. He is not nirākāra.
