Acharya Prashant addresses the misconception that meditation leads to passivity or a loss of desire. He suggests that if meditation were truly successful, its fruits would be experienced as the greatest joy of relaxation rather than a cause for worry. He argues that what is commonly practiced as meditation is often just a veneer over existing desires, especially when it is taught as a tangible activity or a scheduled discipline. True meditation is not a physical or mental exercise confined to a specific hour; rather, it is the mind looking directly at what it truly wants, which is peace and relaxation. He emphasizes that meditation is not something one does to purify the self, but something that dissolves the self, leaving no room for pride or credit. Acharya Prashant further explains that real meditation is a continuous state of being, likened to climbing a mountain and continuing to climb even after reaching the top. He criticizes the idea of meditating for only one hour a day while spending the remaining twenty-three hours in a contrary state. He asserts that meditation must be as continuous as one's breath and should remain unnoticed; if one is conscious of the act of meditating, it is not true meditation. Ultimately, he defines meditation as being in the continuous service of one's deepest essence, making it a permanent and all-encompassing commitment that leaves no room for anything else.
