Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is the act of making something beyond the mind and the world one's goal. He distinguishes meditation from concentration or focus, noting that if one seeks objects, thoughts, or people within the world, it is merely concentration. Meditation arises when an individual becomes weary of worldly pursuits, realizing that nothing within this world provides lasting satisfaction and only increases suffering. Therefore, meditation is the desire for that which is transcendental and not of this world.
