God, is often worshiped in stone, he thought. Indeed some highly attained souls become stone-like; tranquil in their discovery of the Self. The suffering of others and their own suffering seems not to affect them anymore. They become accustomed to suffering as a result of past deeds: Karma, about which nothing can be done. Nothing can be done about karma by man, he understood, but what about God? Could He ease things?
