Acharya Prashant explains that meditativeness is our inherent inner nature, distinct from mental exertion or activity. He describes meditation as a state where two non-events occur simultaneously: there is no perceived need for mental activity or problem-solving, and yet, all that is essential is known without the pursuit of knowledge. He argues that most human knowledge stems from insecurity and a sense of incompleteness, leading to the accumulation of 'trash' or inessential information. In contrast, the knowing that arises in meditation is not about worldly trivia like politics or economics, but a realization of truth and beauty that transcends the material and analytical processes of the mind. The speaker highlights that while knowledge is external and prone to doubt, the sureness found in meditation is internal and absolute. He describes this as 'knowledge-less knowing,' where one acts, speaks, or loves without the burden of theories or reasons. He critiques the common human condition of living like a 'bonded laborer' or a 'thirsty deer' in a mirage, constantly seeking security and future through thought, which only serves to secure one's own chains and insecurity. Meditation, he asserts, is far beyond this stupidity, offering a state of completeness where one does not even need to define joy or peace to experience them. Addressing the Ashtavakra Gita's statement that the practice of meditation keeps one in bondage, Acharya Prashant clarifies that acquired, dead techniques or borrowed practices are barriers to true meditation. He explains that a genuine meditation technique must arise from meditation itself and be dynamic, changing every moment to match the flow of life. Meditation should not be a time-bound activity but a continuous state, like breathing, where every action—whether walking, eating, or responding to a situation—becomes the technique. He concludes that this requires absolute faith and a surrender of the ego's cleverness, as the 'inner doctor' provides the right response only when one stops demanding and starts being present.
