Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is the state of being seated in the heart, total relaxation, and a commitment to peace. In this meditative state, the flow of energy is orderly and harmonious. Conversely, when one is not meditative, energy flows in a diseased and disorderly way, leading to suffering, chaos, and destruction. He emphasizes that the entire universe is composed of energy, but the quality of its expression depends on one's internal state of peace. While natural forces like the sun, winds, and tides represent the orderly and creative game of energy from the divine center, human energy often results in destruction, such as nuclear explosions, when handled without meditation. He further describes God as the source of all energy, noting that while the universe is energy in motion, meditation is God in relaxation. The speaker uses the concepts of Leela and Leen to illustrate that both movement and non-movement are within the divine. He explains that while forms are created and destroyed, the underlying divine essence remains constant. Even if the entire energy of the universe were to shrink back into a single point, the divine would still exist. Ultimately, being meditative allows an individual to act as a channel for harmonious energy rather than an agent of destruction.
