Acharya Prashant explains that the peace attained through meditation techniques is often a subtle trap of the mind. He describes this as dualistic peace because it depends on unrest and acts merely as a temporary relief or a bail from the prison of the mind, rather than true liberation. Since this peace is achieved through specific actions, it is time-bound and fragile, liable to disappear when those actions cease. While techniques provide a glimpse of the truth, they are often misused as a quick fix to escape the consequences of a poorly lived life, allowing one to continue living wrongly while seeking temporary solace. He distinguishes between two attitudes toward these glimpses of peace. The first is the consumerist approach, where one uses meditation like a painkiller for a headache caused by a deeper illness, avoiding the real questions about why their life is restless in the first place. The second, and correct, attitude is to be so captivated by the glimpse that one desires the complete and continuous state of peace. Acharya Prashant asserts that true meditation should not be a conditioned activity restricted to a specific time or posture. Instead, it should be a constant state of being, where the mediator or the technique is eventually discarded to reach the goal directly. Using the analogy of a fish and the ocean, he explains that a fish does not need a technique to stay in the water; its very life depends on it, and it suffers immediately upon separation. Similarly, true meditation is characterized by an intense love for peace and truth that makes any distance from it unbearable. He emphasizes that meditation is not for the clever or those who seek to bargain with the divine, but for those with the innocent insistence of a child. Ultimately, he defines meditation as valuing the Truth more than one's physical life or social ego, requiring a total and continuous surrender rather than a scheduled ritual.
