Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that meditation means stopping the mind or having no thoughts. He explains that the mind must learn to value stillness, which is called meditativeness. At every moment, the mind faces a choice between restiveness (a lack of rest) and restfulness. Meditation is the continuous act of making the right choice, 24/7. The mind is inherently movement and cannot be stopped. The goal is not to stop the mind but to ensure it moves rightly. This right movement is meditativeness. Furthermore, meditativeness also means that when there is no need for the mind to move, one does not become uncomfortable and force it to move. Conversely, if the mind is still when it needs to move, it might be due to lethargy, which is also not right. Neither movement nor stillness is sacred on its own; their rightness depends on the situation. The ultimate objective, whether in movement or stillness, is peace, truth, and final rest. One moves for the sake of final rest, and one rests for the sake of final rest. This continuous orientation towards the ultimate goal is also called devotion. Regarding judgmental thoughts, the aim is not to be thoughtless but to have the right thoughts and judge rightly. One cannot simply drop the ego, as we are the ego. The path is to use the ego itself, to make it a 'great ego' that strives for greatness, which ultimately leads to its own dissolution or transcendence. This transcendence is a sufficient change in degree that becomes a change in dimension. Whatever one's inherent nature (Prakriti) is—be it jealousy, insecurity, or weakness—it must be utilized as a tool in the service of the highest. Therefore, the spiritual method is unique to each individual's personality; there is no single method applicable to all.
