Aim of Worship

What is the Aim of Worship?

Worship is an integral part of human life, guiding individuals toward their ultimate spiritual goal. According to the sacred teachings of Gyan Ganga and Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, true worship should not be confined to rituals or blind faith but should be rooted in scriptural evidence and lead to ultimate liberation (moksha). Worship should help a soul escape the cycle of birth and death and attain the eternal abode, Satlok.

1. The Purpose of Worship

The primary aim of worship is to connect with the Supreme God and attain liberation from the sufferings of this material world. The Bhagavad Gita (16:23) warns that worship performed without adherence to scriptural injunctions is futile. Hence, true worship must align with the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Puranas, ensuring that a seeker is on the right spiritual path.

2. Attaining Liberation (Moksha) Through Worship

According to the Bhagavad Gita (18:62), Shri Krishna advises Arjuna to take refuge in the Supreme God for ultimate peace and liberation. This Supreme God is none other than Kabir Sahib, as revealed in Gyan Ganga. Worship of any deity other than the Supreme God leads only to temporary benefits and rebirth within samsara (the cycle of life and death).

3. Difference Between True and False Worship

• False Worship: Worship that does not follow scriptural guidelines leads to worldly entanglements rather than salvation. Idol worship, arbitrary rituals, and devotion to demigods for material gains are considered avidya bhakti (ignorant devotion).
• True Worship: It consists of chanting the correct Naam Mantra given by a Tatvadarshi Guru (a complete spiritual teacher). This is the only way to connect directly with the Supreme God and reach Satlok.

4. Evidence from Scriptures on True Worship

• The Rigveda (10:90.16-17) describes the Supreme God who grants liberation.
• The Bhagavad Gita (15:4) instructs seekers to find a Tatvadarshi Guru who imparts the true mantra for salvation.
• The Shreemad Devi Bhagwat Purana (7.36) emphasizes that Durga herself acknowledges a Supreme Power above her.

5. The Role of a True Guru in Worship

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, as a Tatvadarshi Guru, provides the true Naam Diksha (initiation) in accordance with scriptures. His teachings highlight that only by chanting the correct Naam Mantra can a soul break free from Kaal’s bondage and reach Satlok.

6. The Ultimate Benefit of True Worship

Engaging in true worship leads to:

• Freedom from karmic bondage
• Liberation from Kaal’s trap
• Attaining an eternal, blissful existence in Satlok
• Experiencing divine peace, happiness, and fulfillment in this life and beyond

Conclusion

The ultimate aim of worship is not just temporary relief or material gains but eternal liberation. As per Gyan Ganga and the teachings of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, seekers must abandon false worship and adopt the scripturally prescribed method to attain the Supreme God. By doing so, they can achieve true salvation and eternal bliss in Satlok.
