7. Q.  How can God the Almighty who is Omnipotent and Omnipresent be confined to a small idol ?

A. In SWETHAASWETHATHA ROPANISHATH it is said

     anoraniyaan mahatho maheeyaan

aathmaa guhaayaam niyithosya janthooho

    He is subtler than the subtlest and larger than the largest. Because of this omni potency He can appear to be confined in an idol. Today all of us are watching television. Sound waves are transmitted from far off lands. People, animals, birds and so on with different shapes, different appearances, different feelings and different languages can be visualised on the screen. They appear real though it is only an image. It can be switched on and off and changed to different channels. In the living room one can see very mundane events and in another room one can see spiritual discourses at the very same time. The television screen could be small or big but all the pictures are well visualised. If  this  is  the  capacity  of  a  scientist  what  about  the Omniscient ? Thus the Omnipotent and Omnipresent Almighty can be invoked to confine in an idol in a temple.
