John 4:24Romans 12:1

Dreaming of worshipping a Buddha idol and experiencing feelings of self-glorification and personal pride — Warning that sentimental worship practices can lead to self-glorification rather than genuine glorification of God; authentic worship should direct all glory and honor to God alone, not to the worshipper's own spiritual experiences or emotional states

John 4:24

Seeing yourself engaged in emotional worship before a Buddha statue while feeling self-content and satisfied with your spiritual state — Caution that sentimental worship can produce self-contentment that masks spiritual complacency; God desires worship that flows from genuine relationship rather than emotional satisfaction that centers on self
