Question

As a child, I imagined what God looks like, and this image doesn't leave my mind. Is there a problem with this? If so, how can I deal with it?

Answer

Hello,

There is no problem with having an 'image', the issue is only in thinking that God has a body or form.

If this truth is clear to you, and you repeat this knowledge, the image will remain as imagination and nothing more.

You can recite the Thirteen Principles with intention, where we declare the belief that God has no body.
