Wisdom of the Sages

1618: Identity Politics, Self-Esteem Battles & the Spiritual Solution


Listen Later

Modern society is in the midst of an identity crisis. From gender and race to body image and social status, we’re defining, defending, and dividing ourselves by external labels. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how ancient yogic wisdom provides a powerful alternative: knowledge of the self.

Through discussion, humor, and insights from the bhakti-yoga tration, they unpack how we can stop tiptoeing around fragile identities and live from the truth of who we really are.

Key Themes: •⁠  ⁠Carl Jung’s insight on identity and self-definition •⁠  ⁠How real kindness comes from seeing through labels, not tiptoeing around them •⁠  ⁠Identity politics = bubble-wrapping the world / Knowledge of the self = putting on shoes

SB 10.1.44-66
