Are Idols just pointers in Hinduism ?
Perhaps in Sanskrit its said, "Viseshal Grahyathe ithi Vigraha", somewhat meaning An Idol is an adjective of God, thru which some aspects of God can be understood and identified.
Is Idol something like an adjective of God, which explains God in someway as adjectives explain the next word, the Bigger thing, with a theme Is and Beyond ?
The same way an adjective explains a thing, but the thing is and much more than the Adjective.
For example "The Sweet Sweet". The Sweet is Sweet, but can be of Jaggery, Sugar or Ghee or all together. Does the adjective Sweet praising the Noun Sweet, the relation between the Adjective Idol (Vigraha) and the Noun God ?
What are your thoughts in this regard ?
Only the thoughtful need to answer ...
