Worship of some body mistaking as God will not be a waste

In the spiritual field there is one marvelous advantage. Assume that you have worshipped a human being as God under the illusion that he is the contemporary human incarnation. What is the effect of such mistake? Will it yield positive result or negative result? The answer is that it will not give any negative result but it will yield positive result only, which may not be the highest. The highest positive result is obtained in the service done to the correctly identified contemporary human incarnation. But just like Sumati (Sumati worshipped her husband Kaushika as God. Kaushika is the greatest sinner and was ready to go to hell. But from such worship of Kaushika, Sumati derived super power to stop the sunrise! Only God controls the sun (Bishodeti suryah … Veda). The wretched Kaushika cannot give such power to Sumati. This power is derived from God only because when Sumati worshipped her husband as God, the worship was aimed at God and not aimed at Kaushika.)achieved partial positive power of controlling the sunrise on one day, you will certainly achieve partial grace of God. Such advantage is restricted to the spiritual field only.

In materialistic field if you have served somebody mistaking as the king you will not get any gift from the king. Moreover, the king may scold you for your foolish ignorance. But God who is very generous and very kind is quite different. God will certainly punish the human being who posed as God but you will not be a loser.
