This being so, Nārada Muni lost himself in seeing both himself and the Lord simultaneously.

PURPORT
That the Lord is not formless is experienced by Nārada Muni. But His form is completely different from all forms of our material experience. For the whole duration of our life we go see different forms in the material world, but none of them is just apt to satisfy the mind, nor can any one of
