Acharya Prashant explains that meditation is often misunderstood as a specific activity or a myth. He argues that because the individual is the one who decides to meditate, the act of meditation remains limited by the individual's existing mental patterns and ego. Since the mind will not naturally choose to dissolve itself, any method chosen by the person is an expression of arrogance, as it assumes the individual is smart enough to reach the truth through their own road. True peace cannot be the outcome of a brief daily process because peace is greater than the individual, and a method chosen by the self only reinforces the self's dominance. He clarifies that real meditation is not about sitting in a particular posture for a few minutes a day, which often serves as a mere escape from routine. Instead, meditation is the continuous, twenty-four-hour surrender to the truth. It is the cessation of one's habitual actions and the dissolution of the arrogant mind. This state requires a complete and disruptive surrender where the truth guides one's actions at all times. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that meditation is not a shortcut or a method to be practiced alongside a routine, but a fundamental change in the structure of the mind that involves stopping the energy put into foolish directions.
