Acharya Prashant addresses the concept of devotion and grace, contrasting traditional devotion, like that of Mira Bai, with modern practices where people seek grace through external means like amulets. He explains that the ego operates on the principle of doership, believing that one must perform actions to receive results. This ego is constructed from biological factors, such as DNA and gender, as well as external influences like education, society, and media. Because of these varying influences and upbringings, individuals from different backgrounds—such as a Catholic in the US, an individual from a specific community in India, or someone from a country where religion is restricted—will inherently possess different thought patterns and perspectives. He clarifies that grace must be understood in the context of how the ego and its sense of doership function.
