Re: QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regarding the worship of idols: The analytical mind can only grasp
something with which it is familiar, and we are very much accustomed to
using the analytical mind all the time. To get to the point at which the
formless truly has meaning for us requires giving the analytical mind a
point of focus that will help it to let go of its control over all our
perceptions. This focus may be the gross form of a deity or a more subtle
form such as a concept about God. Very few people can "worship" the
formless. Even "worship" implies duality - the worshipper and the
worshipped.
Regarding God incarnations: God incarnates because of what I previously
stated concerning the nature of the mind needing a point of focus. If
everyone would meditate on the formless, then we would not need Krsna,
Jesus, etc. But I believe if this was so, we would not even be on this
level of existence.
OM Shanti
