Why only idol worship

मूर्ति पूजा मन की एकाग्रता के लिए की जाती है . एकाग्रता ध्यान या योग से होती है .ध्यान में दो प्रकार की बातें आती हैं . १. परमात्मा में मन को लगाना .२.शरीर की प्रक्रिया को नियोजित करना .परमात्मा में ध्यान लगाने की स्थिति समाधि कहलाती है और ऐसे में मनुष्य निद्रा में चला जाता है . शरीर की प्रक्रिया को नियोजित करना दो प्रकार से होता है .१. ज्ञान २. विज्ञान .विज्ञान जड़ या प्राकृतिक पदार्थों का विषय है जिसमे भूमि जल अग्नि व्योम एवं वायु का पारस्परिक सहयोग है इसकी मात्रा नियत है इसलिए इसका ह्रास नहीं होता .नदीनाम समुद्रम एव अभिमुखान्ति

Verily, just as many torrents of rivers flow towards the ocean, even so these heroes of the
world of men enter Thy flaming mouths.
Arjuna sees all the warriors, whom he did not wish to kill, rushing to
death. He knows now that the Lord has already destroyed them, so why should he worry about the
inevitable.
[ गीता ], समुद्र की ओर नदियाँ जाकर फिर वर्षा द्वारा अपना स्वरुप लेती हैं . ज्ञान के अंतर्गत आत्मा का विषय आता है जिसके लिए ऋषियों ने ग्रंथों में उल्लेख किया है .ज्वलनं पतंगा विशन्ति नाशाय

As moths hurriedly rush into a blazing fire for (their own) destruction, so also these
creatures hurriedly rush into Thy mouths for (their own) destruction.
[ गीता ], इसमें पतंगों के जलने के बाद जड़ पंचतत्व नष्ट नहीं होता किन्तु आत्मा अलग हो जाती है , यह आत्मा परमात्मा का वह अभिन्न अंग है जिसके लिए लिखा है परबस जीव स्वबस भगवंता [ रामचरितमानस ] . यहाँ यह समझने के लिए आप अपना उदाहरण लीजिये . अपने हाथ की पांचो उँगलियों को क्रमशः बर्फ, कम जमी बर्फ, ठंडा पानी ,सादा पानी एवं उबलते हुए पानी में डालिए . आपको अलग अलग महसूस हो रहा है किन्तु ऊँगली को कुछ नहीं . इसलिए आप चोटिल ऊँगली को ठन्डे से गर्म एवं गर्म से ठन्डे पानी में डालेंगे , तानहं क्षिपामि आसुरिशु योनिषु
Taanaham dwishatah krooraan samsaareshu naraadhamaan;
Kshipaamyajasram ashubhaan aasureeshweva yonishu.
These cruel haters, the worst among men in the world,—I hurl all these evil-doers for
ever into the wombs of demons only.
Aasureem yonimaapannaa moodhaa janmani janmani;
Maamapraapyaiva kaunteya tato yaantyadhamaam gatim.
Entering into demoniacal wombs and deluded birth after birth, not attaining Me, they
thus fall, O Arjuna, into a condition still lower than that!
[ गीता ]. अब इस बात को कैसे समझा जाय की परमात्मा ही कर्ता एवं भोक्ता है . शुभ संकेत अगर आपको हो रहे हैं तो आपको प्रशन्नता दायक कोई कार्य होगा इसका मतलब एक ही शक्ति आपको प्रशन्नता दिलाने के लिए प्रयास कर रही है एवं सूचित भी कर रही है .ठीक यही स्थिति अपशकुन होने पर उल्टा होगा और आप उसको रोक नहीं सकते .द्वा सुपर्णा सयुजा सखाया समानं वृक्षं

[ ऋग्वेद ]यहाँ पर हर शब्द एक वचन का बोध कराता है यानि एक शरीर में दो प्रकार के गुण वाला परमात्मा रहता है जो एक ही है भिन्न भिन्न यानि दो नहीं अथवा यही आत्मा भी है .इससे स्पष्ट हो गया कि हर स्थिति में परमात्मा रूप आत्मा को एकाग्रता के लिए मूर्ति पूजा में लगायें तथा अपना शाश्त्र सम्मत नियत कर्म ही करें .

Shakti and Shiva

People do want to know deeply the importance of soul and the prakriti . This also has been illustrated in various scriptures that the soul is Brahman . Body contains five elements from prakriti , material , water, fire ,space and air . After the death only body remains leaving the soul . Living entity always feel that there is some power which helps performing the actions positively or negatively . Some believe in praying to god and put their demands but it is not possible in case of other creatures , so prayer can not be said as universal . It has also been observed that many people get help from some unexpected sources and term them as luck or bhagya . Miracles are often observed done by unidentified sources . This type of lively helps are transmitted from one soul to other soul and we say that the frequencies match them . This indestructible energy which affects the different living entities is called soul or shakti and it is Brahman or Vishnu . It is the active energy which warns time to time for good or bad happenings and one who is spiritual in nature, feels and finds .
The second factor governing the earth is prakriti . Prakriti has its own balance and maintains it . It is non living in nature therefore no prayers or any disturbances made in it are sustained by it . During maintaining its balance nobody can predict or preserve the changes made by human . Disturbances in upper layer of earth , under the earth or in oceans are its regular phenomenon . All the living entities are dependent on the prakriti therefore it is called the shiva or the root cause of the welfare for all . Science deals only with the properties of material of prakriti . During medical treatment the living entity maintains the body with the help of materials from prakriti , similarly other scientific developments are the subject of the materials from prakriti .
The universe is running with these two powers shakti and shiva .

Attaining spirituality comprises two ways .1. worship or bhajan pujan . 2. meditation or fixing the mind in god .

essence of spirituality is IDOL WORSHIP , why , see here
tama āsīt tamasā ghūḷamaghre.apraketaṃ salilaṃ sarvamāidam |
tuchyenābhvapihitaṃ yadāsīt tapasastanmahinājāyataikam || 3/129/10 rig
Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminated chaos.
All that existed then was void and form less: by the great power of Warmth was born that UNIT.
Here the term unit is considered most important , it's study is called BHUMA , perceving the infinite brahman as a small point as symbol or idol .

The thought in vedic aspect

Parastasmaat tu bhaavo’nyo’vyakto’vyaktaatsanaatanah;
Yah sa sarveshu bhooteshu nashyatsu na vinashyati.20/8 gita

The soul which is the super soul [ parmatma ] as having two fair wings in the body is made to produce the children and when it keeps busy itself eating the fruits of life can not understand the originality of the mercy of the self .
Tatah padam tat parimaargitavyam
Yasmin gataa na nivartanti bhooyah;
Tameva chaadyam purusham prapadye
Yatah pravrittih prasritaa puraanee.4/15 gita
Then that goal should be sought after, whither having gone none returns again. Seek
refuge in that Primeval Purusha whence streamed forth the ancient activity or energy.
That which fills the whole world with the form of Satchidananda, is
Purusha. That which sleeps in this city of the body is the Purusha. Single-minded devotion, which
consists of ceaselessly remembering the Supreme Being, is the surest and most potent means of
attaining Self-realisation.

1. FATHER of Maruts, let thy bliss approach us: exclude us not from looking on the sunlight.
Gracious to our fleet courser be the Hero may we transplant us, Rudra, in our children.
2 With the most saving medicines which thou givest, Rudra, may I attain a hundred winters.
Far from us banish enmity and hatred, and to all quarters maladies and trouble.
3 Chief of all born art thou in glory, Rudra, armed with the thunder, mightiest of the mighty.
Transport us over trouble to well-being repel thou from us all assaults of mischief.
4 Let us not anger thee with worship, Rudra, ill praise, Strong God! or mingled invocation.
Do thou with strengthening balms incite our heroes: I hear thee famed as best of all physicians.
5 May I with praise-songs win that Rudra's favour who is adored with gifts and invocations.
Ne’er may the tawny God, fair-checked, and gracious, swifthearing, yield us to this evil purpose.
6 The Strong, begirt by Maruts, hath refreshed me, with most invigorating food, imploring.
As he who finds a shade in fervent sunlight may I, uninjured, win the bliss of Rudra.
7 Where is that gracious hand of thine, O Rudra, the hand that giveth health and bringeth comfort,
Remover of the woe that Gods have sent us? O Strong One, look thou on me with compassion.
8 To him the strong, great, tawny, fair-complexioned, I utter forth a mighty hymn of praises.
We serve the brilliant God with adorations, we glorify, the splendid name of Rudra.
9 With firm limbs, multiform, the strong, the tawny adorns himself with bright gold decorations:
The strength of Godhead ne’er departs from Rudra, him who is Sovran of this world, the mighty.
10 Worthy, thou carriest thy bow and arrows, worthy, thy manyhued and honoured necklace.
Worthy, thou cuttest here each fiend to pieces: a mightier than thou there is not, Rudra.
11 Praise him the chariot-borne, the young, the famous, fierce, slaying like a dread beast of the forest.
O Rudra, praised, be gracious to the singer. let thy hosts spare us and smite down another.
12 I bend to thee as thou approachest, Rudra, even as a boy before the sire who greets him.
I praise thee Bounteous Giver, Lord of heroes: give medicines to us as thou art lauded.
13 Of your pure medicines, O potent Maruts, those that are wholesomest and health-bestowing,
Those which our father Manu hath selected, I crave from. Rudra for our gain and welfare.
14 May Rudra's missile turn aside and spare us, the great wrath of the impetuous One avoid us.
Turn, Bounteous God, thy strong bow from our princes, and be thou gracious to our seed and offspring.
15 O tawny Bull, thus showing forth thy nature, as neither to be wroth, O God, nor slay us.

Here, Rudra, listen to our invocation. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.

1. AGNI at dawn, and Indra we invoke at dawn, and Varuṇa and Mitra, and the Aśvins twain.
Bhaga at dawn, Pūṣan, and Brahmaṇaspati, Soma at dawn, Rudra we will invoke at dawn.
2 We will invoke strong, early-conquering Bhaga, the Son of Aditi, the great supporter:
Thinking of whom, the poor, yea, even the mighty, even the King himself says, Give me Bhaga.
3 Bhaga our guide, Bhaga whose gifts are faithful, favour this song, and give us wealth, O Bhaga.
Bhaga, augment our store of kine and horses, Bhaga, may we be rich in men and heroes.
4 So may felicity be ours at present, and when the day approaches, and at noontide;
And may we still, O Bounteous One, at sunset be happy in the Deities' loving-kindness.
5 May Bhaga verily be bliss-bestower, and through him, Gods! may happiness attend us.
As such, O Bhaga, all with might invoke thee: as such be thou our Champion here, O Bhaga.
6 To this our worship may all Dawns incline them, and come to the pure place like Dadhikrāvan.
As strong steeds draw a chariot may they bring us hitherward Bhaga who discovers treasure.
7 May blessed Mornings dawn on us for ever, with wealth of kine, of horses, and of heroes,

Streaming with all abundance, pouring fatness. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

1 SPEAK forth three words, the words which light precedeth, which milk this udder that produceth nectar.
Quickly made manifest, the Bull hath bellowed, engendering the germ of plants, the Infant.
2 Giver of growth to plants, the God who ruleth over the waters and all moving creatures,
Vouchsafe us triple shelter for our refuge, and threefold light to succour and befriend us.
3 Now he is sterile, now begetteth offspring, even as he willeth doth he change his figure.
The Father's genial flow bedews the Mother; therewith the Sire, therewith the son is nourished.
4 In him all living creatures have their being, and the three heavens with triply-flowing waters.
Three reservoirs that sprinkle down their treasure shed their sweet streams around him with a murmur.
5 May this my song to Sovran Lord Parjanya come near unto his heart and give him pleasure.
May we obtain the showers that bring enjoyment, and God-protected plants with goodly fruitage.
6 He is the Bull of all, and their impregner: he holds the life of all things fixed and moving.
May this rite save me till my hundredth autumn. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

1. AS priest with solemn rites and adorations I worship Heaven and Earth, the High and Holy.
To them, great Parents of the Gods, have sages of ancient time, singing, assigned precedence.
2 With newest hymns set in the seat of Order, those the Two Parents, born before all others,
Come, Heaven and Earth, with the Celestial People, hither to us, for strong is your protection.
3 Yea, Heaven and Earth, ye hold in your possession full many a treasure for the liberal giver.
Grant us that wealth which comes in free abundance. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

4. ACKNOWLEDGE us, O Guardian of the Homestead: bring no disease, and give us happy entrance.
Whate’er we ask of thee, be pleased to grant it, and prosper thou quadrupeds and bipeds.
