It should not be exposed to the view of those who do not understand its significance, and it should not be adjusted to accommodate different styles of clothing. When worn properly, the garment provides protection against temptation and evil.
Wearing the garment is an outward expression of an inward commitment to follow the Savior. In addition to being a place where sacred priesthood ordinances are performed, the temple is a place of peace and revelation. It is a place where spiritual guidance can be received for crucial decisions or concerns. The Lord blesses those who attend to the sacred ordinance work in the temple. And the blessings He gives will not be limited to the time spent in the temple.
Those who do temple work will be blessed in all aspects of their lives. Their labors in the temple will strengthen them and refine them spiritually. Matthew — Doctrine and Covenants —4. Doctrine and Covenants —8. Doctrine and Covenants — Additional Messages.

The God must be approached with humility, without pride, tolerance, simplicity, self control, renunciation of the objects of sense gratification and steadiness. The environment of the temple produces a psychological effect which helps in concentrating on the desired objective. A temple is the place where a devotee tries to remain free from the perception of evil of birth, death old age, disease and entanglement with children, wife, home and the rest of the world.
The main motive is to do worship and every other thing becomes unimportant. Ego is the greatest enemy of man which is the cause of lust and anger. These evils are impediments in establishing a communion with God. In the environment of the temple, in the midst of hundreds of other devotees, the false sense of ego begins to evaporate and the individual becomes a non-entity. This state is the best state for offering Puja to God when body and mind remain in unison.
It is said that God lies in faith. Temple is a place where people believe that God exists. It is the reason why God manifests Himself in temples for the sake of his devotees. Some temples attract large number of devotees and miracles of those temples are widely talked about.
In India there is a tradition of pilgrimage of 4 dham main pilgrimage centers - Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameshwaram. The devotees take all kinds of trouble to go to such distant places.

Sadhguru: The very nature of human perception is such that, right now, whatever a human being is involved with, that will be the only truth for him in his experience.
Right now, most people are involved with the five sense organs and that seems to be the only truth, nothing else. Sense organs can only perceive that which is physical and because your perception is limited to the five sense organs, everything that you know as life is only the physicality - your body, your mind, your emotion and your life energies are all physical. If you see the physical existence as a fabric, then we can say you are living on the fabric of the physical.
You are walking on this cloth and what you are walking on is all that is real. When you look up, there seems to be a vast emptiness above, but even there you only recognize the physical. You look at the stars or the sun or the moon — this is all physical.
You don't perceive that what is not physical, isn't it? What you call a temple is like putting a hole in the fabric, creating a space where the physical becomes thin and something beyond becomes visible to you. This science of making the physical less manifest is the science of consecration, so that dimension beyond the physical becomes apparent or visible to you if you are willing. To take the analogy further, it is like the temple is a hole in the fabric of the physical, where you could fall through easily and go beyond.
Today temples may be built just like shopping complexes with concrete and steel, probably for the same purpose, because everything has become commerce. When I talk about temples, I am talking about the way ancient temples were created. In this country, in ancient times, temples were built only for Shiva, nobody else. It was only later that the other temples came up because people started focusing on immediate wellbeing.
Using this science, they started creating various other forms, which they could use to benefit themselves in so many different ways in terms of health, wealth, and wellbeing. They created different types of energies and different kinds of deities.
If you want money, you create one kind of form or if you are full of fear, you create another kind of form, which will assist with that. These temples came up in the last or years, but before that, there were no other temples in the country except Shiva temples. So a temple is a hole through which you enter into a space "which is not.
