Learning the Science of the Soul 17
Ms. Nixon: No.

Srila Prabhupada: So you cannot see spirit, and God is the Supreme
Spirit. Actually, He is everything—spirit and matter—but you cannot see
Him in His spiritual identity. Therefore, to show kindness toward you,
He appears out of His unbounded mercy in the form of a wooden or stone
Deity so that you can see Him.

Ms. Nixon: Thank you very much.

Srila Prabhupada: Hare Krsna!
