If God is a creator, then why worship his creation?

The religion, including orthodox Advaita, has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman because they worship idols, human worship, and symbol worship, and indulge in non-Vedic rituals barred by the Vedas.

That is what the Yajurveda says: ~ not to worship the things which are part of falsehood.

Translation 1.

They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example, air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc).

They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) (Yajurved 40:9)

Translation 2.

"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti is intent."(Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Giffith pg 538)

Translation 3.

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time."(Yajur Veda 40:9.)

So, Yajur Veda indicates that:~ Those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God, are enveloped in still greater ignorance.

The religion of the Veda knows no idols:

Max Müller says: ~ "The religion of the Veda knows no idols; the worship of idols in India is a secondary formation, a degradation of the more primitive worship of idols of Gods."

Therefore, there was no individual god or temples and worship in the Vedic religion, which existed prior to Buddhism.

Thus, the individualized gods and temples must have been built later on, when the worships of idols were introduced. Thus, the Vedic religion, which existed in the past, was free from idol and nature worship and idol worshiping rituals.

Thus, the present-day worship of individual gods, created things, nature, and humans is against Vedic teachings, and it looks like it has been fabricated and introduced by priestcraft. Since it has passed on from one generation to the next, it is hard for the people to believe the truth of their own religion, because they are sentimentally and emotionally involved in it, and they refuse to accept anything other than their inherited beliefs.

It is impossible to find and realize the truth via religion and scriptural study. Even the Upanishads confirm this. :~Santthosh Kumaar
