Summary
Resentment isn’t just a feeling—it’s a spiritual disease? In this power-packed episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha discuss one of Bhakti-yoga’s most liberating teachings: the more we hear about the life and character of Lord Rāma, the more the disease of envy is cleansed from our hearts. This is a real look at the subtle ways hostility creeps into even spiritual communities… and how to root it out before it festers into full-blown inner plague.
Key Highlights:
* “No hostility in the heart of a yogi”—what this really means and why it’s non-negotiable
* The mind always finds a way to rationalize animosity (and what to do about it)
* The ‘hot coal’ analogy that might change how you handle resentment forever
* Sauerkraut, ego death, and learning to see others through Rāma’s eyes
* Why spiritual life means no selective love — even for that one person
Drop the hostility. Pick up the stories of Lord Rāma. And let the heart realign with the divine.

| 0:00.0 | And speaking of false ego crashing, you know, today on our verse, we're reflecting on a beautiful and challenging teaching of the Shrema Bhagavatam. |
| 0:09.7 | Oh. It's how hearing about the life and the character of Lord Rom can actually free us from the disease of envy. |
| 0:17.2 | And envy is a disease like any other disease, right? It's a disease of our consciousness. |
| 0:22.0 | It's one of the enemies, right? |
| 0:23.9 | And when we hear the word envy, it's not just like jealousy. |
| 0:27.3 | It's a deeper, like, hostility of the heart, the tendency to carry resentment or ill will towards others. |

| 0:48.5 | Are you just throwing that word? |
| 0:50.0 | It's like an older English than even English today because that was the British Raj. |
