Acharya Prashant explains that true magic is that which is beyond the comprehension of the mind. He asserts that there is only one magic, which is truth, because it is the only thing that can bring the mind to a halt. Magic is not found in a new direction of thought, but in the cessation of all directions, where time stops and thought comes to a standstill. This state occurs when the mind encounters something so great or overpowering that it becomes awestruck and arrested, a state he also describes as beauty. He references the axiom 'Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram' to illustrate that truth and beauty are different ways of describing the same liberation from bondage, depending on whether one perceives their current life as false or ugly.
