What is the real meaning of worship of God (Human Incarnation)?

[Smt. Amudha Sambath asked: Padha Namaskaram Swami]

Swami replied:- Worship involves practical steps of service and sacrifice under the headline Karma Yoga, which means that Karma Yoga is the ultimate step. The practical service and sacrifice can be enjoyed by the contemporary human incarnation only and not by inert statues and photos. When worship is done to statues and photos, it is the best coverage of self-greediness, in which you appear to sacrifice apparently, but in reality, you do not sacrifice. God is our exact reflection in such matters. He will also make it appear like the practical fruit is given to you and you cannot enjoy it in reality!
