Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is not an act or a process one performs; rather, it is a state of being. He clarifies that anything done as a deliberate activity is merely 'Karma' (action). True meditation means that the mind's primary subject is Truth or Peace. While the mind is naturally always attached to some object, meditation ensures that Peace is the highest priority, and all other activities or thoughts are secondary to it. He emphasizes that meditation and surrender, or knowledge and devotion, are essentially the same because they all involve placing the highest principle at the forefront of one's life. Real meditation is a continuous state of awareness that cannot be confined to a specific time, such as half an hour in the morning or evening. Acharya Prashant warns that practicing meditation for a short duration while remaining unconscious for the rest of the day is a form of hypocrisy. He compares life to driving a car, where constant alertness is required at every moment. Meditation means living in such a way that one does not act out of agitation, anxiety, or distress, as actions born from unrest only lead to further unrest. Instead, one should live with a heart fixed on the 'sky' (the higher Truth) while walking on the 'earth' (daily life). Regarding Kundalini, Acharya Prashant describes it as a symbolic representation of the levels of human consciousness rather than a physical phenomenon. He clarifies that there are no literal channels like Ida or Pingala, nor physical lotuses or chakras within the body. These are metaphors for the evolution of one's living standards—from the lowest level of living for physical survival and fear to the highest level where the mind transcends the body. Kundalini awakening is simply the purification of the mind and the attainment of natural awareness. He cautions against seeking 'special experiences,' noting that spirituality is about clarity and knowing the mind, not about chasing sensory or mental thrills.
