Acharya Prashant emphasizes the importance of being highly selective about where one offers respect and love. He explains that the ego often seeks nourishment by giving respect to the wrong people or things. He asserts that one's life is defined by whom they consider an ideal or a hero. He argues that respect and love must be exclusive and conditional, reserved only for the highest truth, rather than being distributed indiscriminately to everyone. While compassion can be universal and unconditional—meaning one should be willing to help anyone in need—love and deep respect should be rare and exceptional events in one's life.
