FOR COMMISSIONING EDITORS
"In 1983, neuroscientist Benjamin Libet published an experiment that put a very familiar human claim in some difficulty. Volunteers were asked to move a wrist whenever they wished and to report the moment at which they became conscious of wanting to move. In one set of trials, the brain activity associated with preparing the movement had begun about 350 milliseconds before the reported intention. So the brain was already preparing to act, and the person had not yet reported deciding."

In a article published in The New Indian Express, Acharya Prashant emphasizes that true spirituality integrates with everyday life, rather than being a separate practice. He argues that intelligent spirituality involves honest self-observation, detachment, and understanding both the world and oneself. Addressing internal conflicts and living authentically are crucial for spiritual growth. Acharya Prashant encourages a holistic approach, blending spiritual wisdom with daily experiences to achieve genuine inner peace and fulfillment.
