So long as attachment  persists to the material body and possessions, worship of a material symbol is  necessary. It is but a means. But many decry idol worship as a superstition.  This is not correct.  We will find it  impossible to love God or adore Him unless we meditate on some Form.  That is a necessary stage in the process of  living. One has to accept it as such. A tree’s value is estimated with  reference to its fruits. To experience  the Divine Principle, idol worship is and has been a great help to many.
            -     Sathya Sai Vahini,  Chap 2 "From Truth to Truth".
