During the day the light of Sun is spread everywhere, then, there is no place without light. But the sun is only one. What is spread over throughout the world is the rays of sun and not the sun.Taking his position in one place the sun lights up the world with his rays. Unlike this, the world is not filled up with so many subs.

Ordinarily we claim that we are doing Iswara seva for Moksha. But that's not true. We can do Iswara Seva only when we obtain Moksha. This soul should get liberation from what?. From bo***ge. Only when the soul is liberated like this from bo***ge, Iswara seva can be performed. As we are in bo***ge, we are not in a position to know our father and mother inside us. (Father and mother inside are Maya(illusion,the energy) and Jeeva the Shivam).

The reason is they are inside and we are outside. Unless we get rid off our external bo***ge. We cannot understand our father and mother inside. So we can understand them only when we get rid off the external bo***ge.

Is there any fruit for such poojas performed?

There won't be any benefit if we worship without knowing Iswara or philosophy of Iswara. For example : If we have to take a favour from a Person, we have to know him and submit ourselves. Without knowing him, if we submit, at times it may give room for danger.
