The very forms and names of the earlier personalities such as Jesus have become barriers in reaching the Ultimate. Prophet Mohammed no doubt tried deliberately to ensure that his form is not worshipped but the Koran took the place of the Personality with his followers, similar being the case with Sikhism. In the
