This is an excellent passage and I really liked every single sentence in this passage.
If someone asks me to describe the relationship between humans and god then I will draw a line starting from zero to infinity and place the God at infinity. We,human beings, are different dots in the line that stretch from zero to infinity. The infinity in this metaphor represents all virtues ( 100% virtues) and we humans are combinations of virtues and vices. Our closeness to God is determined by the proportions of virtues and vices within ourselves. Demon represents "0" in this line. The goal of life and meditation is to identify our vices and eliminate them so that we could go closer to God ( located at infinity). I do not believe in going to temple--something to do with my Arya Samaj background also. I think real temple is our personality that has four dimensions-physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. There is no need for a temple once we realize this fact--i do go to Gurudwara but my main purpose there is to connect with spiritual people.
