Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the object of one's worship is determined by what they value most and are prepared to sacrifice everything else for. He clarifies that worship is not merely a religious act but a state of devotion or commitment where something is held as higher than oneself. By examining daily decisions and value systems, one can identify their true object of worship. He points out that, ultimately, most people worship the ego, as they are willing to sacrifice even their most precious relationships or teachers if their ego is offended or hurt. All other objects of worship, such as money, knowledge, or power, are often just servants that bolster and strengthen the ego.
