Summary
A core teaching of the Bhakti tradition is that every living being is eternally sacred and ontologically pure. Though this purity may become covered by a conditioned mind shaped by past experiences, it is never lost. Understanding this transforms the way we see others—it allows us to recognize the good in everyone, rise above resentment, and live without enemies. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore this profound vision through the story of Maharaja Ambarish and Durvasa Muni in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, revealing how a true yogi remains steady and forgiving even in the face of hostility.
Key Highlights:
• The difference between external religion and true spiritual realization.
• Why anger and resentment signal a lack of brahman realization.
• Maharaja Ambarish’s fearless response to a mystic’s fiery attack.
• The power of forgiveness through seeing the soul beyond the body and mind.
By seeing beyond temporary behaviors to the unchanging purity of the soul, we unlock the ability to forgive, cultivate compassion, and experience true inner strength.
