Most religious practices focus on fulfilling personal wishes rather than true wisdom or self-realization. Krishna urges Arjuna to rise above the three gunas (Prakriti) and let go of superficial rituals. True spirituality is rooted in self-knowledge, leading to desireless, effortless action rather than seeking personal gains from deities. Modern religious practices often disguise ignorance and fear under the mask of faith. The Gita challenges such ego-driven rituals, promoting a life of self-awareness and genuine wisdom. 🎧 Listen to Acharya Prashant on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2QmVEAAnsNE7Xs0MW0Li8Y?si=09fbcbc7c99c469b Music Credits: Milind Date ~~~
