The arca-murtis or forms of the Lord can be easily appreciated by the common man. The Lord Is transcendental to our mundane senses. To the degree that we have entered into the service of the Lord or to the porportion to which our lives are freed from sins, we can perceive the Lord. But even though we are not free from sins, the Lord is kind enough to allow us the facility of seeing Him in His arca-murtis in the temple. The Lord is all-powerful, and therefore he is able to accept our service by presentation of His arca form. No one, therefore, should foolishly think the arca in the temple to be an idol. Take care. Haribol.
