Acharya Prashant explains that devotion is not about imagination, as all imagination originates from the ego and serves only to feed it. He criticizes a modern cult of romantic and pleasing imagination that has developed in India over the last few decades, where people create a God that satisfies their own desires. He emphasizes that if Shri Krishna is truly at the center of one's devotion, then the Bhagavad Gita must also be at the center, as it contains the direct words of Shri Krishna. Without the Bhagavad Gita, what one calls devotion is often just the ego seeking an imaginary personal God.
