Summary

The unexamined stuff in us — today — is shaping our external experiences tomorrow. We might think of karma like a cosmic scorekeeper out there keeping tabs on us. Like the universe is going to get us back eventually. But Carl Jung saw something more insightful: your inner life doesn't stay inner. Whatever you haven't faced, whatever you haven't worked through — it leaks out and becomes your circumstances. It becomes the people who drive you crazy. It becomes the problems that just seem to follow you around. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a passage from the Srimad Bhagavatam — an ancient Sanskrit text on consciousness and devotion — where Krishna, as a little boy, explains karma as a universal law that reflects our inner world with perfect precision. Wisdom of the Sages exists to help you look within — before life does it for you.
