Acharya Prashant explains that the ultimate goal of meditation is peace, but peace cannot be achieved through a daily 10 or 40-minute process chosen by the individual. He argues that choosing a method implies an arrogance where one believes they are smart enough to reach the truth using their own road, rather than surrendering. True meditation is not a specific method or posture but a continuous 24-hour surrender to the truth. It involves the cessation of one's current actions and identity, requiring the arrogant mind to recognize and drop its own arrogance. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that sitting still for a few minutes is often just an escape that allows a person to return to their routine, whereas real meditation is disruptive and requires complete, constant surrender. He suggests that instead of 'doing' meditation, one must stop putting energy into foolish directions and allow the truth to guide right action at all times.
