When one sees a stone, it cannot be called a vigraha, an image of the deity; and seeing a vigraha, it cannot be called a stone.
Where it is regarded as a focus for the presence of God, there He actually is.

Just as it is said that everything is God's own vigraha (image), it is only fitting that one should strive after the direct perception of this fact.

Stone-mindedness is foolishness
- the fact of God's immanence has not yet been grasped.
The delight in the things of this world, in sense objects, is fleeting indeed.
It does not last; it is impermanent.
But where God and God alone stands revealed, there is no such thing as impermanence.

Your attention is directed towards the world, not towards the Eternal; you are identified with that which is transient in constant flux.
What is revealed thereby?
The perishable.
In the perishable there is no Self-revelation. How can Reality, true Being, be in that?
For the destruction of destruction has not yet come about.
The perishable must perish.
