Acharya Prashant distinguishes between dualistic and non-dualistic peace. Dualistic peace is relative and dependent on a prior state of suffering or agitation; for example, the relief felt after hunger or removing a tight garment is merely a temporary reduction in unrest. He describes this as a lower form of peace that remains within the dimension of conflict and often leads to future tension. In contrast, non-dualistic peace, or Advaita, is absolute and exists amidst external chaos. He compares this state to the eye of a cyclone, where there is total stillness at the center even while a storm rages on the periphery. This peace does not require the removal of agitation but is a state of being unaffected by it.
