Man, with his limited self, cannot see God, the perfect Being, and if he ever can picture Him, he can best picture Him as man; for how can he imagine what he has never known? "We have created man in Our own image." Krishna to the Hindus, Buddha to the Buddhists, was God in man. Angels are never pictured in any other image than that of man. Even the worshippers of the formless God have idealized God with the perfection of human attributes, although this is only a ladder to reach the love of the perfect God, to which by degrees one attains.
