Acharya Prashant explains that the conflict faced by Arjuna is not a personal one but represents the universal struggle of all mankind. He clarifies that Shri Krishna and Arjuna are both internal forces, with Shri Krishna representing the heart rather than an external figure. He critiques common misconceptions about meditation, God, and religion, stating that true meditation is not about sitting with closed eyes in a specific pose. Instead, real meditation involves being fully aware and active in the world with eyes open, just as the deity Kali is depicted with wide-open eyes while performing the right action of defeating Mahishasura. Meditation is defined as operating from the right center during daily activities like driving, eating, or talking. Regarding the teachings of Lord Buddha and the practice of Vipassana, Acharya Prashant suggests that instructions like 'watching the breath' are metaphorical. He explains that breath represents one's relationship with the world and the exchange of conditioning. The essence of the practice is the act of watching itself, using the breath merely as a constant reminder or an alarm clock to maintain awareness. He notes that masters like Kabir Saheb also used similar metaphors regarding the breath. Finally, he warns against the literal and mechanical practice of samadhi, citing that scriptures and Shri Shiva describe those who attempt to reach samadhi through forced practices as foolish. True spiritual practice requires the intelligence to decode the real meaning behind the words of the wise.
