Acharya Prashant clarifies that Dhyana is not a specific routine, exercise, or practice, but rather the light that enables one to see and understand all things clearly. He explains that there are no different kinds of Dhyana, just as there are no different kinds of light; Dhyana is the process of negation that looks sharply at objects until their false meanings disappear and reality remains. Whether one's eyes are open or closed, the mind is always pursuing meaning, seeking peace or dissolution. Dhyana involves probing these pursuits and the prejudices the mind holds, such as the belief that peace can be found in external objects or internal imaginations. He emphasizes that Dhyana must be practiced all the time, as humans are constant pursuers of psychological meaning in every action, from eating to moving. True Dhyana is often unsettling because it reveals that most daily efforts do not bring one closer to their ultimate goal of peace. Acharya Prashant warns against using meditation methods as cheap substitutes for a meditative life, noting that while methods may introduce one to the concept, they often become toys for psychological entertainment. He asserts that Dhyana is simply an innocent urge to live a light, clean life, free from guilt and fear. Ultimately, Dhyana is described as being sharp and careful throughout life, probing whatever enters one's experiential field, including difficulties and fears. He argues that living a scared life is unnecessary and that one should choose a 'sacred' life instead. He concludes that while methods might be useful for those who lack direct innocence, they should eventually be transcended in favor of wholesome, continuous meditativeness that spans one's entire existence rather than being limited to periodic 'fits' of meditation.
