Acharya Prashant explains that the number 'hundred' in the Guru Granth Sahib is symbolic, representing an infinite or countless number of times one should be a sacrifice to the guru. He clarifies that sacrifice does not mean a physical act but rather the dropping of the temptation to act for one's own sake. To be a sacrifice means to keep the guru, who is the representative of the truth, at the center of every action instead of the ego. He suggests that whenever a decision benefits the small self, that decision should be 'slaughtered' or offered to the guru. This practice of self-abnegation must be continuous, applied to every word, thought, and breath, until the seeker eventually goes beyond counting their acts of devotion.
