Acharya Prashant explains that the common understanding of meditation is often limited and misunderstood. He clarifies that because humans are creatures of nature and time, they are constantly in action even when sitting still. Therefore, true meditation must occur in the thick of action rather than being confined to an artificial environment of silence, specific poses, or closed eyes. While sitting in silence or practicing specific techniques like Vipassana can be useful for beginners, these are introductory steps that should eventually be dropped. One must graduate to a state of continuous meditativeness throughout daily life, as the internal enemies of meditation, such as greed, manifest most strongly during active engagement with the world.
