We live in an age obsessed with data, studies, and “what the research says”—yet so many still feel lost, anxious, or deeply confused. In this episode, we explore why: the intellect, while powerful, can also be our greatest deceiver.
Drawing from the Vedic concept of pragyaparadha—the mistake of the intellect—we uncover how we unknowingly override our deeper knowing, chase endless information loops, and end up further from truth. But there is a way out.
You’ll learn:
What pragyaparadha actually means and how it shows up in modern life
Why the intellect alone can’t lead you to truth
How to cultivate discernment beyond the surface mind
One shift that opens the door to clarity, peace, and right action
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting “truths” out there, this conversation will anchor you back into what’s real.
