Idol worship: Fools think that I am equipped with a manifested form.

[Guest guest]

" Hindu scriptures very clearly state that MENTAL WORSHIP IS FAR

SUPERIOR TO WORSHIP OF IMAGES , but all worship starts with idols and

images. Ordinary people cannot conceive anything with out a form. Even

though JEHOVAH himself never defined WHO IS GOD even to Moses, in all

religions God is worshiped with a name and form.

 

In Raja Yoga, the scientific part of Hinduism, God is looked upon as if

it is PURE ENERGY. In that part of Hinduism there is no mention of God

with any name or form. In the UPANISHADS, God is described with

metaphors such as NETI-NETI meaning NOT THIS and NOT THAT.

 

Even in the Bhagavad Gita, God said FOOLS NOT KNOWING MY TRANSCENDENTAL

NATURE THINK THAT I, THE UNMANIFESTED AM EQUIPPED WITH A MANIFESTED

FORM. "
