Acharya Prashant explains that while Shri Krishna identifies Himself as the absolute and the highest in the Bhagavad Gita, an individual's journey involves reaching their own highest potential. He clarifies that one cannot attain the absolute through personal effort alone because human effort is inherently limited and insufficient. However, he emphasizes that the absolute will not be attained without that maximum effort. Using the metaphor of a child's piggy bank, he illustrates that even if one's total sacrifice is small compared to the 'price' of the absolute, the act of giving everything one has is the necessary condition for the absolute to gift itself. He advises focusing on becoming relatively better day by day and reaching the highest possible state of consciousness, after which the absolute takes over. The speaker concludes that one must display a total preparedness to pay the maximum price, and then something beyond what one can afford is granted as a gift.
