worship of human beings

[Guest guest]

Every human is an incarnation of God, right?

So can one reach enlightenment by worshipping any ordinary person as god/goddess?

Does that only work with Avatars, or certain spiritual advanced persons like ones Guru?

Or does that also work with commpletely ordinary persons?

For instance Indian women in erlier times regarded their husbands as gods, and

then there is also the worship of Devi in form of virginal girls.

hi all,

what alexandr is trying 2 say is different from wat u've understood

kasim....

for eg if i consider xyz as god, & start worshipping him , invent a

pooja style & arti for sri xyz person. then that sloka applies ,

lordkrisna(or whosoever u believe) is the ultimate or suppreme.

 

but, if u worship ur parents like how pundarik did, lord vishnu will

come to u to bless u . i was listening to a 'hir'- punjabi folk

song; allah was so very happy with ranjha's love for hir, that HE

invited him to his abode.

provided there is pure love & true devotion. where there is true

love, there cannot be 'asakti' , if there is no 'asakti' then that

relationship is divine, kasim who is god, god is noone , but ocean

of pure love & u'll realize god in that relationship.

people worship saligram-a stone in india, they nevr call it stone ,

they call it thakur ji. because they worship their lord in that

stone. sikhs have personified sri gurugranth sahib as their ultimate

guru. the press where that book is published, or place where

shaligrama r sold, do u think those people care the same way? for

them its just a product to sell.

if u can worship an idol, u can worship a human being too.

i remeber an instnace, it was in erly 90's , when mahabharata was

telecasted on indian national television , it got record no of

viewer ship- one of most popular tv serials of india.

the person who played lord krisna's role din't get just popularity,

but immense respect too.

once an old lady somehow managed to interrupt the shootin & touched

his feet, she started crying badly, asked for his help & blessings...

an educated person understands that what is being shown is just tv

serail, but she doensnt , so does that mean her devotion is towards

that man? & not to lord krisna..?

doesn't gita say that a gnani siddha see HIM in every living-non-

living craeture, bhakti can see him even in the hole of a needle..

reading gita is easy, understanding same is very difficult. without

his grace , one just can't understand the subtle bhavas of the

almighty. i din't mean any offence to u , we all r not sidhha but

sadhakas, so, we r prone to confusion(rahu) .

with regards

prashant
