When we talk about love, naturally it is very difficult to love some unknown formless being. We need a physical presence or symbol. Since we are bound by qualities, it so happens that ordinary folks like most of us would like to choose and love a beautiful photograph or deity or idol. To gather your mind and concentration, it is important that the focus of concentration is as beautiful as possible. It must be said that all idols, deities, pictures,etc. are only for the beginners those who cannot easily concentrate for meditation. Those work as a medium for them to concentrate on their beloved . Seemingly, that is why we see so many matchless and beautiful photographs and idols of Krishna.
All ways, methods and means are for one single purpose only and that is successful meditation, where you get absorbed so much that you lose all your senses, even that of the most difficult thing, that is your body. Then only, one goes into trance and into the transcendental realm of bliss. True knowledge comes.
