In this episode, Dr. Raj discusses the world-affirming aspect of Indian wisdom teachings. He discusses the extent to which these teachings, though originating in ascetic contexts, are geared towards improving life in the world. He touches on Arjuna’s impulse to renounce the world in the Bhagavad Gītā and also tells the tale of a great sage who, despite his all of his efforts in Vedic learning, was called to embrace the world, and share what he learned, in order to complete his journey towards enlightenment.
