Wisdom of the Sages

1599: Exiting the Path of Emptiness: A Bhakti Yoga Take on Desire & Liberation


Listen Later

Ancient yoga texts call it sama-darshana—equal vision. It’s the ability to see the soul in every being, regardless of their body, background, or even behavior. And according to the sages, it’s not just a lofty idea—it’s the very foundation of a life well-lived.

Here’s the twist: it’s not just the moral thing to do—it’s the key to happiness, peace of mind, and, ultimately, a graceful exit from this world. In contrast, the pursuit of material fulfillment becomes a path of emptiness.

Listen in as Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on the yogi’s mindset: to live in a way that places no one else in difficulty, and to love in a way that clears the heart of all fear and resentment.

Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Sama-darshana—the yogic practice of seeing beyond externals •⁠  ⁠Why a life of non-harm and kindness clears the path to liberation •⁠  ⁠“My name is King Yayati, and I’m a sex addict.” •⁠  ⁠How material desire drives us to harm even those we love •⁠  ⁠How spiritual vision helps us let go—without fear or bitterness •⁠  ⁠And how chasing sense gratification will make a goat out of us. 🐐 (and not the good kind of GOAT)

This episode is a call to shift how we see the world—and how we live in it.
