So, is your answer : yes the ATMAN can be an idol worshiped or no, pick something else ?
My idea is to have a Sanskrit written that says “ATMAN” to represent the ATMAN and burn incense before it to represent my love of the ATMAN
“ But the Atman itself is to be loved above all else. The Atman is forever blissful. For it, there can never be any suffering.” -Shankara
The question is in relation to the instructions given in your document to pick an idol….
“ It is, therefore, necessary to choose your own idol, or a picture of the Lord you cherish, and put it in your place of worship. It may be in your study, prayer room, or a quiet dedicated corner in your home. If you do not have an idol, or picture, the sign of ‘’ (Om)1 may be framed and used as your symbol of Truth. This picture should be fixed on the wall, at eye level, while you sit for prayer in front of it.”
Please clarify .
Thank you
Namaste
