Read the following passage and answer the following questions:    
    
Rituals and the Real World        
Here is a vachana composed by Basavanna:        

When they see a serpent carved in stone, they pour milk on it.

If a real serpent comes they say 'kill. Kill.'        
To the servant of the god who could eat if served they say: 'Go away! Go away!'        
But to the image of the god which cannot eat they offer dishes of food.
