Question

Ram goes to a vishnu temple regularly. One day while going to temple he meets with shyam . Shyam enquires from him that why does he go to temple everyday because god is everywhere as impersonal brahman he is there in space, in trees, in all beingsvso there is no need to especially go to the temple. Shyam is more interested in pious work. How can ram refute the agreement of shyam from (BG 12.1-7)

Answer 1

Ram agrees with Shyam, that God is omnipresent. But for Ram to channelize his inner energy and direct it towards God and prayers, he has to be in a place where he feels that he is closer to God. The atmosphere should be calm and peaceful, with religious and devotional propriety.

Ram also involves himself in philanthropic activities organised by the temple. Therefore, he does good for humanity, through his belief in God.
