Worship is just a means of educating the emotions..

Worship is just a means of educating the emotions.

Human impulses and emotions have to be guided and controlled.
It is absurd as putting the cart before the horse.

The physical is subordinate to the spiritual.
The body is the cart and the spirit, the horse.
Of course, the cart should be kept in good condition;
vice ruins the body and makes it unfit for the journey of life.

The age long instincts of human
have to be trained and transmuted
by contact with higher ideals and powers.

There are different methods
of worship for spiritual seekers on the saguna
(with qualities, with form, materialized) and the nirguna (
without qualities, attributeless) paths.

Both paths are accepted equally.
