Worship of Puja of the God can be either internal or external. Internal worship called “manasapuja” is actually meditation, which may be a simple process of contemplation on the form of the deity or may involve a regular ritualistic worship with all the ingredients, but all done mentally.
External worship is the worship of the deity in an image or a symbol with all th necessary articles needed for the worship as per the religious works.
When the external worship is performed properly in the right spirit, over a period of time, it may lead to greater and greater introversion. As a result, external, formal, worship may drop off by itself. Then, only internal worship or meditation can be continued.
