Oneness of God

On the contrary, when man bows his head before anyone else, he exalts one who is no better than himself—and, as such, has no right to be worshipped. Adoration of God glorifies Him while worshipping anything other than God degrades the worshipper. Veneration of God makes a man a realist while prostrating himself before a non-God turns him into a creature of superstition. Bowing to God opens the door to realising the truth, while worshipping something other than God closes this door. We must accord the supreme status to the one and only God. We must ask Him alone to meet our needs. We must do obeisance before Him; we must trust Him implicitly, and above all others, we must reserve for Him the supreme status in all respects. Worship is the ultimate stage in any relationship: that is why, whatever its form, it must have God as its object. Therefore, any gesture in the nature of adulation is not permissible except when meant for God. When an individual makes God the object of his worship, he bows before an entity which really exists.
