Acharya Prashant explains that the 'Sahaj Marg' or the natural path refers to taking the most direct route to one's destination without unnecessary wandering. It is the path of efficiency, not in terms of money, but in terms of time and mental energy. He clarifies that Sahaj Marg means not ignoring what has already been realized; it is the state of being free from confusion. Instead of seeking new alternatives or substitutes to replace old attachments—which is a clever but long and indirect way—Sahaj Marg advocates for the immediate abandonment of the tendency to cling itself. It is a path for those who are truly thirsty for liberation and refuse to tolerate any further delay in their spiritual journey. Addressing common misconceptions, Acharya Prashant asserts that Sahaj Marg is neither a path for the lazy nor is it inherently opposed to Hatha Yoga. While letting go might seem easy, the process of gaining the clarity to see the necessity of letting go requires immense effort, self-study, and constant vigilance. He emphasizes that an idle person cannot follow this path because they are attached to their laziness, which can only be overcome through the joy found in disciplined effort. Furthermore, Sahaj Marg only opposes Hatha Yoga when the practice becomes an end in itself, like a lifelong exercise routine that distracts from the ultimate goal. The essence of Sahaj Marg is to maintain a clear vision of the destination and move toward it with innocence and without any pretension.
