God is Multiform - Sri Ramakrishna

Thou seest many stars at night in the sky, but findest them not when the sun rises. Canst thou say that there are no stars, then, in the heaven of day? So, O man, because thou beholdest not the Almighty in the days of thy ignorance, say not that there is no God.

As one and the same material, viz. water, is called by different names by different people––one calling it ‘water,’ another ‘vari,’ a third ‘aqua,’ and another ‘pani’––so the one Sat-Chit-Ananda, the Everlasting-Intelligent-Bliss, is invoked by some as God, by some as Allah, by some as Hari, and by others as Brahman.
