There are eight kinds of forms recommended for the devotees to see. The forms may be made out of
- sand,
- clay,
- wood or
- stone,
- they may be contemplated within the mind or
- made of jewels,
- metal or
- painted colors,
but all the forms are of the same value. It is not that one who meditates on the form within the mind sees differently from one who worships the form in the temple. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is absolute, and there is therefore no difference between the two.
