Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the ego is inherently driven to seek completion and will always be identified with something. Since identification is inevitable, he advises choosing the right object of identification—that which is ultimate, unchanging, and fulfilling. Instead of seeking disidentification, one should identify fully with peace and completeness. This total dedication is equivalent to surrender, where one refuses to entertain thoughts of limitation, fear, or insecurity. He suggests that when the ego finds its right resting place in peace, it naturally relaxes.
