A Monk’s Advice For Modern Life with Vaisesika Dasa


Listen Later

In this episode of The Mind Full Podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Vaisesika Dasa. Vaisesika is a monk, author, and spiritual teacher who has spent decades studying ancient wisdom - but don’t worry, this isn’t one of those conversations where you’re expected to abandon modern life and live in a cave! In fact, one of the biggest takeaways for me was how practical his ideas are.


His book, The Four Questions, centres around one simple idea: the quality of your questions shapes the quality of your life. We talk about purpose, service, attention, and why most of us are throwing our focus around like loose change.


There’s warmth, humour, and a lot of wisdom in this chat - including one brilliant piece of advice that I genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about since!


You can find Vaisesika @vaisesikadasa on Instagram, he’s also on Facebook and gives really interesting lectures on Youtube.


And his book The Four Questions is a lovely, simple and effective place to start if you’re looking for some more direction and fulfillment in your life.
