Summary
Ancient yoga texts call it sama-darshana—equal vision. It’s the ability to see the soul in every being, regardless of their body, background, or even behavior. And according to the sages, it’s not just a lofty idea—it’s the very foundation of a life well-lived.
Here’s the twist: it’s not just the moral thing to do—it’s the key to happiness, peace of mind, and, ultimately, a graceful exit from this world. In contrast, the pursuit of material fulfillment becomes a path of emptiness.
Listen in as Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on the yogi’s mindset: to live in a way that places no one else in difficulty, and to love in a way that clears the heart of all fear and resentment.
Key Highlights:
• Sama-darshana—the yogic practice of seeing beyond externals
• Why a life of non-harm and kindness clears the path to liberation
• “My name is King Yayati, and I’m a sex addict.”
• How material desire drives us to harm even those we love
• How spiritual vision helps us let go—without fear or bitterness
• And how chasing sense gratification will make a goat out of us. 🐐 (and not the good kind of GOAT)
This episode is a call to shift how we see the world—and how we live in it.
🎧 Listen now and join the global conversation on living with deeper vision.
