Acharya Prashant clarifies that energy is entirely material, defined simply as the existence and movement of matter. He asserts that there is nothing mystical or mysterious about energy; it is a physical phenomenon that can be detected with scientific instruments. He criticizes the widespread belief in energy transfer through touch or blessings, attributing such notions to a lack of basic scientific literacy. He explains that if a hand were a conductor of energy, heat would flow through the entire body upon contact with hot water, which does not happen. He emphasizes that terms like positive and negative energy are often misused by those who lack a fundamental understanding of physics, noting that energy is a property of matter and not a mystical force.
