Ep83. Betrayal, Karma, and Forgiveness: How Do You Keep Your Heart Open?

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply reflective episode, Sadhviji explores the emotional and karmic complexities of trust, betrayal, guilt, and the challenge of loving those we struggle with.The episode begins by addressing the pain of broken trust—what it means when someone deceives or takes advantage of us, and whether we are still meant to hold compassion and goodwill toward those who have hurt us.Sadhviji then turns to the subject of marriage and karmic connection, exploring whether relationships are bound by karma for life, and how to understand separation or divorce through a spiritual lens without guilt or judgment.The conversation moves into the tender space of self-blame and regret, as Sadhviji offers insight into how to deal with guilt from not standing up for oneself in an abusive relationship, and how healing begins with self-compassion rather than self-punishment.Finally, Sadhviji explores one of the most difficult spiritual practices: how to cultivate love toward those we feel aversion toward, and what it truly means to rise beyond emotional reaction into conscious awareness.Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions: If someone breaks your trust or makes a fool out of you, should I still think good of them?  Is marriage considered a karmic union for life? Does separation or divorce bring bad karma?  How do I deal with feelings of guilt for not standing up for myself in an abusive relationship?  How do I practice love for people I feel aversion towards? Join us for a grounding and compassionate conversation on trust, karma, forgiveness, and the deeper path of emotional and spiritual healing.If you would like to ask a question, please get in touch via social media (links below).Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sadhvijihttps://www.instagram.com/sadhviji.hindihttps://www.instagram.com/sadhviji_en_espanolYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SadhvijiIG Threads: https://www.threads.net/@sadhvijiX: https://x.com/SadhviBhagawatiFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SadhviBhagawatiSaraswati/LinkedIn: https://in.linkedin.com/in/sadhvi-bhagawati-saraswati-75822283Bio:Sadhviji has devoted her life to guiding individuals in liberating themselves from self-limiting beliefs and...
