A deeper relationship with G-d happens when your awe is directed fully toward Him.
Images — whether on the wall or in your mind, distract from that focus.
It’s like talking to a friend while thinking about someone else, the presence fades, and the connection weakens.
Jewish law forbids praying in front of pictures or statues not because they hold power, but because they divide your awe, turning your attention toward form instead of the Infinite who created it.
It’s okay to feel awe for a teacher, but not while you pray.
Even the holiest person is only a vessel — not the Source.
When your awe turns only toward G-d, your body begins to feel the relationship more strongly, that quiet trembling of being seen by the Infinite (the kind of awe that can even give you goosebumps), the meeting point between form and formlessness.
That’s prayer: your body in awe, when awe moves from thought into the body,
your soul in relationship.
