Summary
Resentment is a silent killer of peace—and it’s one of the biggest obstacles on the spiritual path. In this powerful episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and special guest Jiva G dive deep into the spiritual and psychological mechanics of forgiveness. With decades of experience in both Bhakti yoga and 12-step recovery, Jiva brings clarity, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom to one of the most difficult practices in human life: letting go.
Drawing from the story of King Ambarīṣa in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and real-life experiences of transformation, this conversation explores why forgiveness is not about excusing bad behavior, but about reclaiming your own power and serenity.
Key Takeaways:
• How resentment blocks spiritual growth and poisons our inner world
• Why self-reflection—not blame—is the first step to emotional freedom
• How Bhakti and 12-step principles work together to heal deep wounds
• The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
• Why forgiving others is often the key to forgiving ourselves
• How spiritual community and loving support can help us do what seems impossible
• Tools and mindsets that can transform lifelong patterns of hurt and shame
If you’re carrying pain from the past—or struggling to release judgment toward yourself or others—this episode offers both inspiration and real-world practices to help you move forward with strength, clarity, and grace.
