This is the central philosophical question. If God is infinite… Why worship a finite symbol? Vedanta answers: The symbol is not limitation. The symbol is compassion. The infinite becomes approachable. Three Reasons the Formless Takes Form 1. The Mind Needs a Support (Alambana) The human mind cannot meditate easily on pure abstraction. Form becomes a ladder. 2. Form is a Doorway, Not a Destination The Linga is not the end. It is the beginning. Worship leads beyond symbol into silence. 3. The Infinite is Present in the Finite The Absolute is not elsewhere. It shines within all forms. The Linga teaches: The Infinite can be encountered here and now.
