Bhagavad Gita 12.3 · Krishna
Those who seek the formless
ये त्वक्षरमनिर्देश्यमव्यक्तं पर्युपासते।
सर्वत्रगमचिन्त्यञ्च कूटस्थमचलन्ध्रुवम्॥
ye tvakṣaramanirdeśyamavyaktaṃ paryupāsatesarvatragamacintyañca kūṭasthamacalandhruvam
But those who worship the undying, the indescribable, the unseen, present everywhere, beyond thought, unchanging, unmoving, eternal...
What it means
Krishna honours the other path too. Some worship the formless absolute. He piles up words to describe it. Imperishable. Indescribable. Unseen. Everywhere. Beyond thought. Kutastha, unchanging like an anvil. Immovable. Eternal. A reality without any shape at all.
The story
Krishna doesn't dismiss these seekers. He describes their goal with reverence. Many great sages walked this path of pure stillness.
In your life
Imagine a meditator sitting in silence for an hour, resting in awareness itself, no images, no words. If silence calls you more than images, honour that too.
Some seek the sacred in pure silence.
