Hmm..
Ok..
God being present everywhere... this is answered in lines written after that sentence... tht answers your question....

Even though God is Omnipresent... we pray in a particular place only... etc etc etc.. same wht is mentioned...

I say it is contradictory - cause I should be able to see God in everything and everywhere.... but still long way to go in spiritual quest....
But still we channelize on one particular Idol...
I know it is Just a Idol... but when I say through it I see God... that Idol is paid respect and love or say feelings and emotions I have for God.....
If you respect and love a thing as much as God.... how can you treat it anything less than him/her. If God has to be given a gender.... its better to be with SHE.. even Hinduism says HE.. but thts my personal feeling.. to be so merciful and forgiving.. has to be a female :)

Its Like My Parents Photos in my wallet....
It is not Parents.... But when I look at it... it reminds me of the love I have for them and the pampering I think I righteously deserve....
Of course even though it is jus piece of paper....

But a day ll come... when they ll not be with me anymore.... :( Then this piece of paper ll be treated like parents by me....
I see dad looking at GrandPa's Pic for hours.....
Now I know why.....

No not emotionally attacking or blackmailing you :).... Jus to show equivalent example....

Now you got the point....?????
May be I m not tht good with words... but try to see wht I intend to put forward.....

If still in doubt let me know... m blessed with fingers which don get tired :)
