Summary

This quote suggests that worshipping oneself can provide the greatest happiness compared to other religions. It implies that self-centeredness and prioritizing one's own desires can bring temporary gratification and personal contentment.

This perspective focuses solely on individual satisfaction without acknowledging other essential elements that religions can offer, such as altruism, compassion, and a sense of purpose beyond oneself.
