Acharya Prashant defines yoga as the science of uniting individual consciousness with the ultimate consciousness, characterized by equanimity in both success and failure. He explains that yoga is not about achieving a special state of consciousness but about being an already fulfilled actor who does not act for the sake of rewards. In this state, the actor is 'already all right' and does not require the fruits of action, even though actions continue to bear effects. Yoga is the absence of the common feelings of inferiority, lack of fulfillment, and the constant search for answers. It is a state of being free from the demand for any particular thought or feeling, realizing that one is already 'home' and that all methods or tactics are ultimately futile.
