Gods are omnipotent and omniscient. When we worship a particular deity we attribute all the qualities to that deity. Sri Ramakrishna was a Kali Bhakta. And his sattvik nature was well known. Prahlada saw Lord Narasimha only as God. Then he did not have the benefit of our theories. He was a true Bhakta.

As I had explained on my article on Bhakti, the relationship between MAA and her Bhakta is that of a six month old child and its mother. The child does not care whether the mother is ugly or beautiful, poor or rich, nude or clothed in rich clothes. The mother could be a Beggar or a Queen. It does not make an iota of difference to the child.

That is the conception of God and total surrender.

We have conceived God in our own image with all our inadequacies.
