Acharya Prashant addresses a woman named Ritu, who spends eight to ten hours daily cooking for a large family of nine, leaving her no time for self-development or learning. He critiques the advice given by her family members that 'service' is her highest duty and the path to liberation. He points out a conflict of interest, noting that those encouraging her to serve are the very recipients of her labor. He argues that if service were truly about spiritual liberation, she should be serving the most vulnerable, such as the homeless or animals, rather than healthy, capable adults who demand specialized meals.
