Acharya Prashant explains that the tendency in India to turn everyone into a god stems from human convenience and ego rather than a pursuit of truth. People often deify those who suit their personal interests or validate their existing beliefs, while struggling to recognize the divinity in someone like Shri Krishna who challenges their ego. He points out that Arjun faced an existential crisis because accepting Shri Krishna as the embodiment of wisdom would mean admitting his own complete ignorance despite their lifelong intimacy. Using the analogy of a father bending down to hold a child's hand, he illustrates how the child mistakenly assumes the father is of the same small stature, just as Arjun assumed Shri Krishna was merely an equal because they shared the same chariot and activities.
