	The philosophical essence of this category addresses the paradox and widespread misunderstanding of the Supreme ~~Lords~~ impersonal form. Because the Absolute Truth is beyond the range of materially contaminated senses, many speculators and atheists wrongly conclude that God is ultimately a formless void or an impersonal energy. They fail to understand that the impersonal Brahman is merely the formless, unmanifested feature (avyakta-~~murti~~) of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Through this impersonal form, the Lord pervades the entire cosmic creation, and everything rests upon Him, yet He simultaneously maintains His separate, eternal, personal existence in the spiritual sky. Foolish people (~~mudhas~~) think that the Lord is originally formless and only assumes a material body when He descends. Even the great teacher ~~Sankaracarya~~, who preached ~~Mayavada~~ philosophy to bewilder atheists, knew that the Lord is eternally a person. While beginners or empiric philosophers might appreciate the impersonal form or the universal form, pure devotees are never cheated by this partial realization. Upon reaching the stage of firm faith (~~nistha~~), they remain exclusively eager to see and serve the original, smiling, lotuslike face of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
