Acharya Prashant states that the entire meditation business is a big hoax, particularly the promises to enter into joy, silence, and feel peaceful. He argues that of course, one will feel peaceful because feelings can be manipulated. He illustrates this with an analogy: if his car's air conditioning is not working and it's a hot day in May, he feels uncomfortable. However, in a comfortable, air-conditioned room, he feels peaceful. This feeling of peace is not due to godliness but is a result of sheer comfort for the body and mind. He emphasizes how superficial feelings are, calling them a big industry and a myth. He asserts that anyone can change your feelings. The speaker challenges the audience, who appear peaceful and meditative, by pointing out that their feelings would instantly change with a power cut, a fan falling on their head, or an unsettling piece of news. This demonstrates that the peace they feel is fragile and dependent on external conditions. He explains that if one is meditating to feel good, they are deceiving themselves, especially if they seek something eternal. If one merely wants temporary entertainment, then meditation can provide that fleeting joy and silence. He notes that people look to various objects for pleasure, and for some, the so-called "peace object" or "silence object" becomes pleasurable, especially when it has been highly advertised. He introduces the concept of the "center" versus the periphery of feelings. Before meditation, you are what you are. During and after meditation, you are still what you are, but you are "feeling good." The core self, or the center, does not change. If the center is stupid, it remains stupid; meditation just adds a veneer of peace, making one "stupidly peaceful." Similarly, if the center is violent, it remains violent, merely wearing a coat of peace, joy, and silence, resulting in being "violently peaceful." The peace is present, but it does nothing to change the center. In conclusion, Acharya Prashant explains that feelings come and go, but the center remains. While the center itself is not eternal and can be dissolved, it has great longevity compared to the fleeting episodes of peace. Peace is easy to dislodge, but the stupid or violent center is not. Therefore, proceeding from that unchanged center, one can meditate until eternity, but nothing fundamental will change.
