Wall Updates | Speakingtree.inFor a beginner, experience of absolute nirakar nirgun is an absolute necessity. the most needed spark to light up the lamp of the self and illumine the path for further journey 

all spiritual journey starts with this one essential, to enable the seeker to go on the right track 

hence first , neti neti , shankara reaching that state of shivoham, shivakevaloham, nothing but chidananda roopaha , leaving behind all that limits the mind with any thought 
once that goal is gained, the life is supercharged with divinity 
and the vision sees all pervading absolute in every manifestation, 
every thing becomes godly, rich, full, sacred 
and the heart overflows with bhakthi and all devi devathas come to shake hand with him 
the idol then becomes the lord himself in what ever idol worshipped
and in that state , he sang soundarya lahari, shiananda lahari glorifying every aspect of shivas nama roopa mahima 

prior to the experience of the transcendental lord he was not satisfied with any thing

only after that experience , every thing become iti iti 

hence for a beginner, the upanayana sanskar , first foremost to provide the experience of the pure nirakar nirgun self. 

i am not against the idolatry
but cautioning on the significance, priority aspect ,

thyagaraja was asking rama 

''tera teeyaga raadaa '' 

ie rama why to hide your real transcendental nature behind your nama roopa

also prurandara was asking rama 

neeny yako ninna hangu yaako 

ie what for are you and your glory , is not your name alone sufficient?
