If you mean by "depth" some kind of philosophical explanation, here is a humble attempt. Many religions are all right with accepting God's Transcendence. God is beyond everything, everyone. God is beyond words and logic, etc. etc. In India (perhaps elsewhere too) there is another idea: God is Immanent as well. Which means that God is not just beyond, but God is right here with us. God has made Godself visible through Cosmos or Creation. The technical name is VivaRta. Which roughly means Transformation. Instead of creating cosmos, God transformed Godself into a visible, palpable, experienceable Cosmic form. This belief can be used to explain why plants and animals have amazing qualities such as life, consciousness, etc. For instance, look at Photosynthesis. It can be explained in purely scientific terms. But for a believer, plant cells producing food and oxygen is simply miraculous. This miraculousness can be explained by attributing Godliness to creation. Even in lifeless minerals, there is atomic energy --another miracle. Coming to humans, we see even higher powers such as language, music, spiritual seeking, etc. All this can be explained if we believe in God's Immanence. I do not claim truth status to this interpretation. I merely present it as my belief in both God's Transcendence and God's Immanence. I ask your forgiveness if any of these ideas hurt your feelings or destabilize your beliefs. Just ignore and move on, please.
Let me clear why Hindus worship tress and plants, cause our creator (Brahman) lives in his or her creation as a soul and all souls r part of one god or Paramatma. So worshiping trees mean showing our respect to that soul means worshiping the Almighty God
Technically, yes. Brahma is everywhere, the subatomic particles of every matter and thus trees have souls and they co-relate with animals/organisms. Hinduism is less religious, more philosophical. There's endless variety.
you live inside god ? you poop inside god ? watch bhabhi videos inside god ? tell people they are subhuman inside god ? if everything is god then what is the point of living ? why do we need muksha from god ?
Brahman is not our creator. This is a common Western misconception that unfortunately has been disseminated back by Westerners to Hindus. There is no Creator in Hinduism. All Jivatmas are eternal. Brahman means the fundamnetal reality. The reality of consciousness. Everyone is Brahman because we are all conscious beings. Aham Brahamsi. Parabrahman is the Supreme Brahman. He is the Supreme conscious being. Parabrahman is Paramatma (Supreme Being). Paramatma is within every Jivatma. Within you, within me, within every cockroach, within every tree. All life is sacred because Paramatma is within everyone.
TH-cam deleted my reply. Please correct your comment, you misrepresented Hinduism. Brahman does not mean creator but the fundamental reality of consciousness. There is no concept of a Creator in Hinduism. Every Atma is Brahman. This means that every conscious being is the fundamental reality of consciousness. Parabrahman/Paramatma is the Supreme Being. Paramatma resides within every Jivatma (conditioned being).
and the audumbar tree(Ficus racemosa ) tree as it has medicinal properties in it's branch and guru dev datta i.e dattary belives to be there i.e associated with tree
We pay reverence to trees, rivers, animals, humans including all that is dark in this world as they are all manifestations of the divine. Nothing is not part of God. How can God be omnipresent but at the same time exclusive?
The creator doesn't exist. Only Paramatma (the Supreme Being) and Jivatma (conditioned beings like you or me) exist. We worship all living creatures because all life is sacred.

@@ShahrukhKhan-qo9pw What if you planted the tree and gave it water? You worship something that you chop down for wood? Isn't that just pure misguidance?
The reason why trees give us wood is one of the reasons many cultures revere them. Trees are signs of life, provider of materials used to craft houses, tools, etc. Trees are also the source of fruits and medicines. Revering them is a way of giving thanks, as trees have literally provided life for all of us. The concept of _hell_ itself is a very strange thing. In local beliefs in my place, such place does not exist; my ancestors' understanding of the afterlife differed from yours.
@@jagenaught Refer to my first and last paragraphs. It doesn't matter than we can cut trees down. What matters is that trees are the source of food, shelter, and materials to make tools with. That's why many cultures give offerings to them, as a way to say thank you

Your faith shows dominance in power. When something is more powerful than you, you revere it. You worship something based on violence and subjugation, in which you only worship something that you can't fight. However, the faith in trees are based on an entirely different stuff. It doesn't matter that we can cut trees down with axes or with whatever; that's just how trees are. Instead, trees are revered cause they give fruits, medicines, places to take shield from the sun and rain. And when we cut them down, their woods turn to materials we use to make houses and tools. This isn't a faith based on power, this is a faith based on gratitude.
Selam: I love you Jesus Christ I think Jesus told you not to judge others as its has to be done by God and if you judge others you will go to hell. So let people live in peace with whatever they see God in. Some see it in christ, some in Allah, some in deities of Hinduism, in nature trees, animals and birds as every single being is the manifestation of the divine and God put them on on earth and she will have purpose for them to be.
