In Chapter 11, an analogy is used to explain the relationship between the manifest (Saguna) and unmanifest (Nirguna) aspects of the divine. The text compares this to ghee: when frozen, it has a solid form ('Sakara'), but when it melts, it becomes liquid and appears formless ('Nirakara'). Despite the change in state, it remains ghee. As Chapter 11 illustrates with this example, the formed and formless are not different but are one and the same reality pervading the universe, simply perceived in different ways.
Can you explain the ghee analogy used in Chapter 11 and what it teaches about the divine?
