Its meaning and experience deepen as we unfold spiritually through the stages of service, devotion, yoga and enlightened wisdom. Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>We never outgrow temple worship. It simply becomes more profound and meaningful as we progress through four spiritual levels. In the chary\u0101 p\u0101da, the stage of selfless service, we attend the temple because we have to, because it is expected of us. In the kriy\u0101 p\u0101da, the stage of worshipful s\u0101dhanas, we attend because we want to; our love of God is the motivation. In the yoga p\u0101da, we worship God internally, in the sanctum of the heart; yet even the yog\u012b immersed in the superconscious depths of mind has not outgrown the temple. It is there\u2014God\u2019s home on the Earth plane\u2014when the yog\u012b returns to normal consciousness. So perfect is the temple worship of those who have traversed the j\u00f1\u0101na p\u0101da that they themselves become worship\u2019s object\u2014living, moving temples. Yea, temple worship is never outgrown. The Vedas give praise, \u201cHomage to Him who presides over all things, that which was and that which shall be; to whom alone belongs the heaven, to that all-powerful Brahman be homage! From Fullness He pours forth the full; the full spreads, merging with the full. We eagerly would know from whence He thus replenishes Himself.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Temple Worship Only for Beginners? \u015aLOKA 111Temple worship is for all men and women at every level of spiritual development.
