The seeker should not make any man or woman an object of worship because Vedas bars human worship If you have accepted the Atmic path then there is no need for books, no need for a physical Guru, no need to worship religious God no need for any rituals.
Nothing is needed other than realizing the ‘Self is not you but the ‘Self’ is the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness.
It is very important for the seeker of truth must know why human worship is an obstacle in the path of wisdom.
Human worship is not a Vedic idea it is adopted from Buddhism and Jainism. Hinduism which is indulging in human worship is not the ancient Vedic Religion or Sanatana Dharma. Vedas bar human worship because humans are part of the creation. The creation is the dualistic illusion or Maya.
Worshipping anything from the creation (dualistic illusion or Maya) in place of the Atman the God in truth is barred by Vedas.
Vedas bars human worship: ~
"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.":~ (Yajur Veda 40:9.)
Then why worship and glorify human form in place of God when Veda bars such activities and it also warns people who indulge in such activities are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.
Remember:~
Dvaita means duality. The duality is present in the form of the ‘I’. The ‘I’ is present in the form of the mind. The mind is present in the form of form, time, and space. The form, time, and space are present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (nonduality).
All individual experiences of birth, life, and death happen within the domain of duality. There is no individual who exists in reality.
The world is an illusion. Therefore, the individual experience of birth, life, and, death, which happens within the world, too, is an illusion. The illusion is the product of ignorance. And the way to get rid of the ignorance is to acquire Advaitic wisdom. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
