Dear Nkbala,

you are correct. poojas only help in fastening the purification of mind.

Sri HH Sringeri Aacharyal used to Quote, "the Poojas are like Rubber, which erases all the hurdles towards self realisation and gets vanish by itself" we should see these poojas as initial steps to attain the realisation. people in preliminary level need them to build strong base for their journey towards realization.

Now a question arrise, then why adi shankara sang so many stotra granthams even after attaining jeevan muktha (self realized) state?. The answer is he had/has somany followers to follow his foot. For the people in premliminary level he stood as a example because of his karuna towards them. That is why all aacharyas of the Mutts performing various poojas. they want the common people to follow them to start building the base. Adi shankara has done All those bhakthi granthams just for the sake of doing Bhakthi.. he need not attain anything by doing this, as he already attained everything (jeevan mukthi).

self realization is not attained by doing poojas, it is a big evolution starting at performing poojas. it is evolution of the soul to realize the brahman.
