Acharya Prashant explains that while yoga and meditation have their place in maintaining physical fitness, they should not be mistaken for means to salvation or spiritual truth. He asserts that attempting to reach God through physical postures or breath control is an expression of the ego, which falsely believes it can plan or effort its way to the truth. Truth is not something that happens or is achieved; it is already present and beyond human control. Realization comes only when one sees the futility of all personal actions and surrenders unconditionally. This surrender leads to a state of silence from which great and vigorous action emerges, rather than a life of inactivity.
