Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is the state of having a fixed and appropriate goal. He defines meditation as the act of focusing entirely on a worthy objective, suggesting that if the goal is right, one is naturally meditative. He emphasizes that every living being inherently carries a goal because being a 'living being' implies being away from one's true home or source. To return to that source, one must establish a goal and remain dedicated to it. He uses the example of Arjun from the Mahabharata, who could see nothing but the eye of the bird, to illustrate the singular focus required for true meditation. Without a clear and honest goal, any attempt at meditation is bound to fail or remain superficial.
