In the Bhagavad Gita, it is not recommended to worship the Impersonal Brahman, or the unmanifest. It is recommended to worship the Personal form of the Lord; in time, developing the divine sight to see the Universal Form as it is and work with it, not against it. The goal being to Know the workings of Universal Law as being one with the Self, and to command them to manifest the Law.
There is a vast group of spiritual students who worship the unmanifest, via the belief that motion, or thought, can be stilled and the Mind can be made void of generating thoughts, thus merging and remaining with the unmanifest, nevermore to manifest. And yet God, or Source, or Consciousness, is never “not generating thought” – that is what God is and seems to do. Void of sensing the effects of such generation, this thought generation in Cause is purely qualitative Stillness/Silence and the qualities, in One, are pure ecstasy. It is the senses alone that require transcendence – the belief in separation due to sensing effect – that needs healing.
The belief that Mind can be stilled to cease generating thought is akin to the belief that the Self can die, that the Divine Trinity of Light, of Knowledge and Thinking, can be no more.
Balanced Thinking of the Creator creates the illusion of an eternally interchanging two way Creation of life becoming death becoming life, of rain becoming vapor becoming rain, of spring becoming winter becoming spring etc – this two way interchanging Creativity is eternal. Realizing Oneness with God is to realize the Self qualitatively as the interchanging point of the manifest and the unmanifest, and to rest in the Point of it All, vs identify with seemingly divided effect.
