A very profound statement.  This desire to adorn the Lord with beautiful
garments and jewels is not just human nature; it is in actuality, an
expression of our True nature as sesatvam to the Lord.  Indeed, one reason
that the Lord appears in the form of the Archa is to provide the earthbound
souls the opportunity to experience this joyous service directly.
