The essence of Ganesha is brought out beautifully by Adi Shankaracharya. Though Ganesh is worshiped as the elephant-headed God, the form (swaroop) is just to bring out the formless(Para brahma roopa) .

Ajam Nirvikalpam Niraakaaramekam
Neraanandhamanandham Adhvaitha Poornam
Param Nirgunam Nirvisesham Nireeham
ParaBrahma roopam Ganesham Bhajema.
This means that Ganesha is unborn, unchanging, formless, the one, beyond bliss and full of bliss, who is the fullness of non-duality,the supreme, devoid of qualities, without differences, and beyond desire,
I worship Shri Ganesha, the Supreme Brahman personified.

Gunaatheethamanam Chidananda roopam
chidha bhasakamsarvagam gnana gamyam
munidhyeyam aakasa roopam paresham
paraBrahma roopam Ganesham bhajema.
He is the one beyond the Gunas, the embodiment of bliss consciousness,
the light of consciousness, the all-pervading, who is the source, course, and goal of knowledge,whom the sages meditate upon, who is formless as Ākāsha(space), the highest Lord,
I worship Shri Ganesha, the Supreme Brahman personified.

Jagath kaaranam kaaran gnana roopam
suraadhim sukhadhim gunesam ganesam
jagathwyaapinam viswa vandhyam suresham
para Brahma roopam Ganesham bhaje ma.
We worship Him who is the cause of the universe, the source of knowledge,
the origin of the Devas, the source of happiness, the Lord of the Gunas, Shri Ganesha,who pervades the universe and is worshipped by all, the Lord of the gods,
I worship Shri Ganesha, the Supreme Brahman personified
