Acharya Prashant explains that peace is not a state of mind that can be achieved, increased, or lost. He clarifies that if something comes and goes, it was never true stillness or emptiness. Emptiness means 'nothingness,' and that which is nothing cannot be lost or found. He critiques the common misconception that peace is an experience similar to other mental states like jealousy or excitement. Since all experiences are transient and belong to the mind, peace—which is eternal and unchanging—cannot be an object of experience. He asserts that the very act of seeking peace reinforces the false belief that it has been lost, which is the root of restlessness. He further explains that peace is the fundamental basis and center of our being; without it, even noise could not be perceived. Acharya Prashant warns against spiritual teachers and scholars who promise to provide an 'experience of truth' or peace, suggesting that such claims are often commercial tactics to make individuals feel incomplete. He advises that instead of searching for peace, one should investigate how they accepted the false notion that peace was ever missing. By recognizing the futility and falsehood of this sense of lack, and by rejecting the influences that create a feeling of deficiency, one realizes their inherent peaceful nature. The path to stillness is not through acquisition but through the discernment and rejection of false beliefs.
