Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the act of asking or begging from the divine inevitably leads to rejection because the divine is indifferent to personal desires and dreams. He describes the divine as 'supremely selfish' because there is no 'other' to consider; in non-duality, only the one exists. Therefore, prayers based on the separation of 'me' and 'you' are rooted in a lie and can never be fulfilled. He emphasizes that instead of asking, one should 'die' to their ego, as the distance between the seeker and the sought remains as long as the seeker exists. He cites Kabir Saheb to highlight that it is better to die than to beg, suggesting that when the individual self disappears, only the divine remains.
