Having assured himself that the fragrance would not reach them, he sat down for prayer. At that very moment, , and appeared. He was amazed and questioned the deities: How is it that You did not appear when I worshipped You and now that I have punished You, You have appeared before me? Then replied: “Son! Till this day you had limited Me to a picture. Today you have got the feeling that this photograph is a living entity and so tied a cloth around the nose to prevent the fragrance from reaching Me. The photographs will not help you. Picture will remain a picture. You may worship picture as God, but not God as a picture. Today you have begun to believe the picture as God Himself and tied the cloth. So, I have appeared before you”. Nowadays, we worship God as a picture. It is only when we take picture as God in form that our desires will be fulfilled. It does not matter what form you worship or what name you chant. Realise that all names and forms are His. Nothing wrong with any name. All are the forms of the same Godhead. Your prayers will not reach God if you offer worship to the idols and pictures without believing in the Living Presence of God. When you believe that the idols and pictures you are worshipping are throbbing with life, then only your desires will be fulfilled. If you accept that God is present everywhere without exception, and at the same time, you do not feel His Living Presence in His pictures and idols, then you prove your disbelief in His Living Presence in the photos and idols.
