The Gita according to Gandhi 114

The Gita according to Gandhi -Mahadev Desai

DHYANAYOGA AND BHAKTIYOGA (Discourse 12) "I made an earthen image of Shiva But the earth is not Shiva; My worship reaches Shiva, The earth remains the earth it was. I made a stone image of Vishnu But the stone is not Vishnu; My worship reaches Vishnu, The stone remains the stone it was. I made a pewter image of Amba, But the pewter is not Amba; Amba receives my worship, Though the pewter that pewter remains. Even so are saints worshipped, The worship reaches the Lord, The saint is but His servant An instrument, a conduit pipe."
