Actually, JLU, it's very simple: God created the universe, so everything is God. In the universe, everything is polar when being in harmony, and dual when being in conflict. That is creation. Loving all that is good in the polar world, as aspects of the Divine, is okay. Respecting, and trying to enlighten, even avoiding when hostile, all that is bad, is also okay. But the whole creation is interconnected, so there's a spot of Divinity in every creature and created. The problem is that not every creature with a selfconscious mind is willing to enflame that enflamammable spot. Worshipping that which is a representative of the Divine, is worshipping the Divine itself, something that is beyond normal love and respect. It is the Divine behind (un)created divinities, that is worshipped. This simple is Hindu philosophy. regards, Ishwa
