Acharya Prashant explains that the human ego constantly seeks to occupy the supreme throne of divinity. He uses the metaphor of a king's son who, as he grows older, distances himself from his father's lap—the throne he once shared in childhood innocence. Instead of returning to the father through simple love and surrender, the son attempts to kill the father to seize the throne for himself. This represents the human tendency to try and intellectualize or capture the divine through words and mental constructs, effectively attempting to 'kill' the absolute truth to satisfy the ego's desire for control.
