We use our vision to worship in this case. The idol/image of god, aesthetically built structures, nature at its best (for god lives in every living and non living creature), good persons, auspicious things, rising sun, full moon - all can be viewed with our eyes to understand what God stands for in life. There are two types of Darsanam - the first is the obvious one using our eyes to see what is around us and the second is to 'see' using our 'Aka Kannu' (Inner eye) - We use aka kannu to see beyond the obvious to find inner meanings.
