Mind is nothing but collection of thoughts. There is nothing called mind, without thoughts. These
thoughts are generated at an unbelievable pace owing to our vasanas. One way to stop that flow is to
have it focus on something, synonymous to giving an elephant a chain to hold on to, in order to stop
the swaying of its trunk. In this case, it is the idol. The all-pervading nameless and formless Brahman is
the final state. Hence, as long as you identify yourself with the body, name and form, idol worship is
definitely the way to go...
