Description:
The session delves into true worship, highlighting its foundation in sacredness and desirelessness. Acharya Ji explains that genuine worship isn’t about seeking favors or consuming but respecting and recognizing the higher essence of the object of worship. Using examples like nature worship, he emphasizes the distinction between exploitation and reverence.
He differentiates joy and pleasure: pleasure arises from desire and past experiences, while joy comes from desirelessness, where the ego dissolves, allowing pure observation. Acharya Ji critiques distorted notions of religion, stressing that true sacredness involves non-consumption and deep respect.
Desire blinds perception, obstructing clarity and truth. Worship without desire enables clear vision and spontaneous connection with existence. Acharya Ji concludes by emphasizing that desirelessness, rooted in self-knowledge, frees one from superficial pursuits, fostering authentic worship and alignment with higher truths.
