Acharya Prashant explains that while traditional forms of worship and chanting may appear different on the surface, they share a common essence. He references the Atma Puja Upanishad to highlight that the true meaning of worship lies in the internal light rather than external rituals. He suggests that if one feels aversion to traditional worship, it is likely due to its mechanical or superficial nature. However, he cautions that one should not abandon worship altogether but rather seek its refined and authentic form. He cites Kabir Saheb as an example of someone who reached a state where formal chanting was no longer necessary because he became one with the Divine, but warns that one must reach that depth of devotion before claiming such a state.
