Being Yourself | What If Outrage and Despair Are A Doorway?

"I encourage you to let your heart be broken. Waking up to yourself has nothing to do with forgetting the suffering of others as if it never existed." How do we reconcile the recognition of truth and peace with the suffering, cruelty, and devastating loss we see around us or even in our own lives? How do we face real heartbreak given this paradox can't be reconciled in our minds? Rather than turning away from outrage or despair, Gangaji invites a direct meeting with them—and points to the possibility that even outrage and despair can become a doorway to truth.   If this exploration speaks to you, you are welcome to continue at gangaji.org, where you'll find resources to support your spiritual inquiry and you can learn more about Gangaji and self-inquiry: • An introductory self-inquiry course • Other episodes of Being Yourself • Monthly Community Video Screenings • Opportunities to meet with Gangaji live online and in person Learn more at Gangaji.org
