Acharya Prashant critiques the modern mindfulness industry, arguing that the constant observation of minor physical actions like eating, walking, or breathing is harmful and impractical. He explains that the mind is already overloaded with information and needs rest rather than more data to process. He suggests that if anyone were to fully implement these teachings of constant watchfulness over microscopic details, they would likely go mad. The survival of such teachings, he argues, depends on the fact that they are too impractical to be fully realized by practitioners, who then feel guilty for their perceived failure.
