Acharya Prashant explains that all false notions of the self, which cause fear and pain, must turn to ash as one nears God. He describes love as a funeral pyre where the heart must lay its body. He emphasizes that everything we perceive—thoughts, intentions, methods, feelings, and emotions—is merely the body and must remain subservient to the heart. The heart alone knows how to produce, maintain, and dissolve the body, and one must leave these processes to the truth or God. He asserts that even the loftiest thoughts or principles cannot capture the truth, as everything that can be imagined or sensed is part of the body, which is essentially memory carrying itself forward in time. To be in love, according to Acharya Prashant, is to be devoted only to the one truth rather than being attracted to things that come and go. Since one cannot love the truth directly or through a statue, practical devotion means seeing the falseness of false love. He explains that one loves God by rejecting everything imagined to be ungodly. If an attraction is not rooted in seeing God, one must not energize or pursue it. True devotion is not a declaration of belonging to a sect or religion; it is reflected in one's daily lifestyle, choices, and priorities. It manifests when one realizes the futility of relentless, repetitive chases that lead only to suffering, causing one's steps to freeze in the pursuit of the false.
