Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding blind worship and the tendency of the mind to worry, referencing a verse from the Rehras Sahib which states that the Lord provides sustenance to everyone. He explains that the vast material world, including stars and galaxies, exists and functions perfectly for billions of years without an 'I' sense or ego to take care of them. In contrast, human beings, who constitute a tiny fraction of living beings, are the only ones burdened by a worrying ego that obsessively looks into the future. He points out that animals and even insentient objects are sustained without such anxiety, and even those who deny or oppose the truth continue to receive life's essentials like oxygen and sunlight.
