1. If a man is a slave of his habits also an idolater. If we suppose anything and it does not exist, that is also idolatry. If a man loves his family , children and so on , he is also an idolater. Any attachment towards material things is idolatry. It can altogether be abolished only when the thought does not take any such impressions. If it comes , it is thrown back automatically. But such is the case after a long reach. We should avoid the worship of concrete things so that we may rise above and catch it. There are men who , even if any practical hint for realization be given, will not leave idolatry of the rocky type.
    2. If we keep ourselves bound fast to a particular form or practice without clear idea of its real significance and final approach, we are probably committing the greatest blunder.
    3. Heaviness of mind or internal denseness caused by gross forms of worship is thus a great impediment to our spiritual advancement and should be avoided. If they maintain it with ever increasing intensity they remain entangled in the thorny bushes of grossness and deception far removed from the realm of perpetual bliss.
    4. I tried idol worship . I noticed that it was dragging me back instead of taking me forward and I was compelled to give it up.
    5. Do not put my photograph at the place of my seat. People prevailed upon me to get myself photographed. Now worship of photograph has started.
    6. When the human society was brought into being, different types of classes issued forth from the fountain. There was no caste system , I mean only different classes (not castes ) of persons were required for a colony.
    7. Hymns and prayers offered generally result in flattery when one is dumb to the real spirit of the essential character.
    8. The Geeta says that in whatever form a man worships Him, he gets Him in that very form. But the common difficulty is that people do not worship Him in any form, but instead they worship only the form, whereby the reality at the root disappears alltogether. This is the greatest blunder.
