Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 A Vaishnava devotee , who was a high official at Simla, brought all the idols that he worshipped daily , and handed them to Sri Bhagavan , probably desiring the sanctity of Sri Bhagavan's touch. Sri Bhagavan seemed much interested in examining them. The devotee said , "Bhagavan , people scoff at me , calling me a superstitious idolator. " Sri Bhagavan told him , 'Why don't you retort by calling them worse idolators ? For do they not wash ,dress, embelish , feed and thus 'worship' their body so many times every day . Is not the body the biggest idol ? Then who is not an idol worshipper ?" ................................................................................. taken from Sri Ramana Reminiscences G.V. SUBBARAMAYYA second edition , Sri Ramanasramam , 1973 ....................................................................................
