Let us take an example from sacred scripture Ramayan; the dialogue between  Shri Ram and Hanuman Ji -

When Lord Ram asked Hanuman Ji, how do you see me? The great Hanuman ji answers in three parts, "When I know that I am the body, I am your faithful servant. When I know that I am the soul, I know myself to be a spark of your eternal light and when I see the truth, you and I, my Lord, are one and the same.

Each god in the Hindu pantheon (a group of especially respected, famous or important people) represents an aspect of our enlightened mind. Thus, the dynamics of soul and ego, devotion and higher intelligence, belief and ignorance are shaped so that we can understand ourselves.
