Acharya Prashant responds to a question about the role of meditation in reaching the Truth, as opposed to the 'Neti-Neti' (not this, not that) process. He begins by repeatedly asking, "What does meditation mean?" He suggests that perhaps it is not much more than a word, a word that has become venerable. He questions whether meditation is about thinking or doing, pointing out that apart from these two, no other action is possible. He asks, what then is meditation? He then critiques common notions associated with meditation, such as remembering something, trying to forget something, forgetting oneself, or forgetting the ego. He dismisses these as mere mental activities. When another person in the audience suggests that meditation is about connecting with the Supreme Father God to receive powers, Acharya Prashant calls these childish stories, comparing them to children's magazines. He asserts that spirituality is for adults and mature individuals, not for those who believe in fairy tales. Acharya Prashant defines true meditation as dedicating one's life to the highest goal of liberation. It is when the entire life becomes an offering in the process of liberation. The goal must be so immense that it demands your whole life; this is meditation. The goal is the complete sacrifice of the meditator. He explains that meditation cannot be a specific event that happens in a corner of life, like a 20-minute activity. It must be the very foundation and center of life, happening continuously, every moment. Therefore, it cannot be a specific action. He distinguishes between two types of meditation: one that is 'done' and one that is 'lived'. The meditation that is 'done' is like a rattle for children. The meditation that is 'lived' is like a sword for adults. It requires recognizing one's bondage and the suffering it causes, and then clearly declaring that this is unacceptable. This declaration becomes your goal—to eradicate the bondage. When you dedicate your entire life to this goal, that is meditation. The path is to identify your bondage, see the suffering it causes, and then dedicate your life to eradicating it. This is the true meaning of meditation.
