Sri Ramana Maharshi
Q: Can everybody see God?
Yes
Q: Can I see God?
Yes
Q: Who is my guide to see God? Do I not need a guide?
Who was your guide to Ramanasramam? With whose guidance do you see the world daily? God is your own Self beyond body, mind and intellect. Just as you are able to see the world yourself so also you will be able to see your Self if you earnestly strive to do so, your Self alone being your guide in that quest also.
Q: Whenever I worship God with name and form, I feel tempted to ask whether I am not wrong in doing so, as that would limiting the Limitless, giving form to the Formless. At the same time I feel I am not constant in my adherence to worship of God without form.
As long as you respond to a name what objection could there be to your worshipping a God with name or form? Worship God with or without form till you know who you are.
