Almost synoyms, or not? "Worship" vs "inspiration".

0In this extract from 01a01font00www.sikhs.org02font02a00, a distinction is made beteen using paintings of gurus for worship and for inspiration.02br
02br
00"Sikhism rejects any form of idol worship including worship of pictures of the Gurus. Although some of the Gurus did pose for paintings, unfortunately none of these historical paintings have survived. Artists renditions are for inspirational purposes only and should not be regarded as objects of worship themselves."02br
02br
00It must be hard for Sikh to explain the difference between those two concepts/words. 02br
02br
00Dictionary definitions for this context, I think, are:02br
02br
01b00worship02b00: The reverent love and devotion accorded a deity, an idol, or a sacred object. 02br
02br
01b00inspiration02b00: An agency, such as a person or work of art, that moves the intellect or emotions or prompts action or invention. 00Divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind. 02br

00They seem to be pretty close in meaning to a 01i00heathen02i00 like myself. Maybe someone here can point out more differences between the two words/concepts.0-
