1651: Why Real Change Is So Hard (Even on a Spiritual Path)

from Wisdom of the Sages · host Raghunath Cappo and Kaustubha Das

Even on paths designed for deep transformation, we often resist the very changes that would liberate us. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the symbolic meaning of the cart demon (Śakaṭāsura) from Krishna's pastimes—and how it represents the dead weight we carry in the form of outdated beliefs, mechanical rituals, and spiritual pride. Drawing on insights from Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they challenge us to ask: are we actually changing, or just performing? If you've ever felt like you're dragging around a cart full of spiritual dead weight, this one's for you. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?
