Robert Adams on Worship of God with Form.

Question : Robert, do you think worshipping God impedes Realization?

Robert: On the contrary! Worshipping God makes you Pure. It makes you pure enough so that you can follow the I back to the Source. Whereas if you did not worship God, you would just 'know' everything intellectually, and you would have a hard heart. Worshipping God softens you up, makes ou mellow, kind causes you to become One Pointed, and lifts you higher.

So by all means worshipping God is good. But what kind of God will you worship? Worshipping God in the form of a satguru, Buddha or Christ whichever, is even better. For if you worship God without form, the energy is not as strong. For what kind of God are you worshipping? An invisible God that has no form, no shape. Therefore you have doubts. You are not too sure. (laughter) And the energy you send out is not that strong. But, when you worship God as form, you can give that God all of your energy Totally surrender to that particular deity. That is the purpose of worship. To finally totally Surrender you ego, your pride, your body, your affairs, your life, to that Deity. Dialogue Continued in Silence of the Heart p 172
