1766: When the Ego Steps Back | The Existential Sense of Being Blessed

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

"The gift of gratitude. In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat." A shift that happens when the ego stops driving. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how gratitude isn't just an etiquette — it's a marker of spiritual depth and the default setting of the self. When the false ego dissolves, the rising of gratitude appears as a natural effect of the soul understanding itself correctly in relation with God. The conversation then moves into fascinating territory — exploring a ladder of spiritual consciousness, and how its some of its highest expressions manifest not in the powerful mystics, but in the simple, pure hearts of the cowherd men of Vrindavan, ordinary farmers who love Krishna without pretense or pride. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.28.11-17 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
