Acharya Prashant clarifies that while physical yoga and meditation have their place in maintaining bodily fitness, they are not means to salvation or spiritual truth. He argues that attempting to reach God through physical postures or breath control is an expression of the ego, which falsely believes it can achieve the truth through effort. Truth is not something that happens or is acquired; it is already present and is realized only when one sees the futility of all personal actions and surrenders unconditionally. He emphasizes that the real happens beyond human planning and control, and the ego's resistance to this fact is a primary obstacle.
