The concept of God in Hinduism is different from other religions as God is all pervasive and only that exists. Then a question arises why God is worshipped in numerous forms especially in Murti or idol forms. The answer to this question is found in the Vaikhanasa Agama an important Hindu holy scripture. Vaikhanasa Agama states that God is beyond measure and cannot be worshipped in God's infinity even by the celestial beings or devas. Even the most powerful sages find it difficult to fathom the infinite form of Supreme Truth. Hence the need for forms – murtis or idols.

They just give advice for the sake of giving advice and majority of the time they do not have the grasp of the problem and neither do they have a solution. They find a person in a problem and immediately they start giving advice. This same problem we see with many saints learned people and enlightened persons. They talk wise things but from their point of view. They are not aware that the person to whom they are talking to has not reached their level of understanding. They have to come down from the summit they have reached and they need to lead the people to the summit. Majority of them do not have the patience to do it. Therefore, they talk sitting on the summit about the advantage of the position they are in. They are actually teasing the poor souls who are down the hill and do not know the way to reac
