The story is the one where the king is having a great feast, and then sees the writing on the wall that spells out his impending doom. Key to this story is that they're using the holy and sacred artifacts that were taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so there's a clear indication that religion is being abused and perverted. The "Love Over Ego" program sees this as a descent into materialism, and that one of the key steps to bringing our ego under control of our higher self is to learn to be content with our lot and not turn to materialistic practices to find happiness. It won't work.
