Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is the process of the mind shedding its impurities of sattva, rajas, and tamas to attain the nature of the ultimate reality. He contrasts meditation with ordinary thought, noting that while thought is driven by fear or greed toward small objects, meditation is the singular pursuit of the highest truth. He describes meditation as a special kind of thought where the thinker eventually bursts or disappears because they are aiming for the infinite, which cannot be contained by the limited self. This disappearance of the individual faculty is the essence of meditation. He further clarifies that meditation is not for those who are easily satisfied with worldly definitions or labels. It is for the daring and eccentric individuals who refuse to accept superficial stories and instead seek to understand the deep, underlying truth of existence. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that there is no single method for meditation because it is simply the honest way of looking at the universe and oneself. It requires a commitment to the truth and a willingness to let the egoic self disappear in the face of the unknowable.
