"He" can take any form - सम्भवाम्यात्ममायया - Bhagavad Gita - 4.6

I had been to a spiritual Camp a couple of years ago. In the Camp, at one point all the participants were asked to sit facing each other. This was a session about Where is GOD and How does 'He' appear to us?  In a very impactful way, the Teacher said that GOD  might have come to you in the form of the person sitting next to you. It made us realize that GOD can come in any form. Since he is so powerful, he can take any form!

This verse from Chapter 4 reminded me of the activity that was done in the spiritual Course. One of my friends used to say that the Help or message can come from anywhere and in any form. She believes that when she was in conflict, GOD can send his message through a street vendor, a dialogue in a TV series, or something an RJ says on the radio! 

अजोऽपि सन्नव्ययात्मा भूतानामीश्वरोऽपि सन् |

प्रकृतिं स्वामधिष्ठाय सम्भवाम्यात्ममायया || 6||

ಅಜೋSಪಿ ಸನ್ನವ್ಯಯಾತ್ಮಾ ಭೂತಾನಾಮೀಶ್ವರೋSಪಿ ಸನ್ ।

ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಂ ಸ್ವಾಮಧಿಷ್ಠಾಯ ಸಂಭವಾಮ್ಯಾತ್ಮಮಾಯಯಾ ॥೬॥

Meaning: Although I am unborn, the Lord of all living entities, and have an imperishable nature, yet I appear in this world by virtue of Yogmaya, my divine power.
