1568: Reality Distorted Through the Lens of Attachment & Aversion
Our perception of truth is rarely objective—it’s colored by what we crave and what we fear. In this eye-opening episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a powerful quote from Carl Jung: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Paired with deep wisdom from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they explore how our internal programming—our icchā (desires) and dveṣa (aversions)—create filters that distort our understanding of the world, ourselves, and God.
The episode takes a fascinating turn as the hosts recount the story of King Sagara’s sons, whose perception was so warped by anger and false assumptions that it led to their destruction. In contrast, a single grandson approaches with humility and clarity, revealing how higher consciousness means learning to see clearly—beyond the lens of the ego.
Key Highlights: • How unconscious preferences distort spiritual understanding • Krishna’s words on icchā and dveṣa in the Bhagavad-gītā (7.27) • Why seeing the divine requires transcending the “box” we’ve built for truth • The difference between living under illusion and recognizing Krishna’s hand in all things • A reflection on how saints, mystics, and avatars may be walking among us unnoticed
This episode isn’t just theory—it’s a call to courageously examine the filters we carry and begin the inner work of uncovering truth as it is.
