Wisdom of the Sages

1584: Does the Hunger for Power Disqualify One From Holding It?


Listen Later

What does it means to lead without ego, serve without exploitation, and rule with spiritual detachment? In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the extraordinary standard set by Lord Ramachandra, whose rule began not with conquest but with renunciation.

The conversation also takes a deeper look at the controversial episode of Sita's banishment though the eyes of the sages (as opposed to the lens of ones's own painful divorce). When seen with spiritual clarity, the pain of separation transforms into an expression of divine love, where Ram and Sita's apparent distance reveals the depth of their unbreakable connection.

Key Highlights: * How Ram's leadership flips modern politics on its head * Sages with melted hearts receive the supreme gift - inner illumination * Sita's banishment—and why comparing it to your messy breakup doesn't quite work * What Jay Shetty, and Douglas Adams and Socrates have to do with karma yoga * Abraham Lincolns touching letter about losing a loved one * Bhakti as the "Platinum Package" of yoga paths (yes, karma and jñāna are included) * How Sita Sings the Blues delights, but disappoints
