Devotee: I have faith in murti dhyana (worship of form). Will it not help me to gain jnana?
Ramana Maharishi: Surely it will. Upasana helps concentration of mind. Then the mind is free from other thoughts and is full of the meditated form. The mind becomes it - and thus quite pure. Then think who is the worshipper. The answer is ‘I’, i.e., the Self. So the Self is gained ultimately.
