Well said Mudy!
Another perspective of 'visiting temple'.
Sant Sri Surdasji spent his old age days in Vrindavan, living near a temple of Radha Rani. As a rule, he used to visit the temple everyday early in the morning. The temple was (is) at somewhat height, and needed climbing several steps.
Once during a chilling harsh winter morning, while he was climbing the steps to the temple, he fell down and hurt himself badly - blind and aged as he was. When people noticed, they came to him and took care of him. Someone asked him why he went for darshan everyday, as he was blind and could not see anything anyways.
To this he innocently replied, I go not to the temple to have darshan of Radha - as you said, I am blind anyways. But brother, I go everyday so that at least my mother Radha can see me, if I not her. To temple I go, as a child goes into the lap of his mother every now and then.
But we are not Surdasji.
