Thinking about It

The common belief to being compassionate would be to love empathetically. After understanding the problem at hand, the common man would want to display his/her love in whichever best way possible. However, the underlying problem is that we don't know how to display our love. Swamini Supriyananda discusses how compassion is a super-power that can so easily begin to display our ego and vanity instead of our selfless kind-heartedness.

Being truthful is a twofold quality: honest with yourself, and honest with others. Many of us can manage the latter, however struggle when it comes to the former. Swamini Supriyananda explores the idea that there are many aspects of life we are fearful of accepting, but the moment we take that plunge we realise that it is what we were always in search for.

Ahimsa, being synonymous to Mahatma Gandhi, makes this super power seem so unattainable.

What does it mean to be kind, and why should we be kind in this world where everyone is just looking out for themselves? All scriptures ask us to share, or to keep giving - but why is this so important? Swamini Supriyananda explains the effect of 'giving' on the mind, and how it benefits the giver and the receiver.

The first quality Swamini Supriyananda dwells upon is fearlessness. She begins by explaining the relationship between love and fear, and with her logical analysis we can only question how this thought had never arose in our minds before.

Swamini Supriyananda begins her new series, called the super power series. We all want to be extraordinary, and in that search we often don't realise its not just the work we do or the mark we leave in this world, but it's the values we live by that makes us great extraordinary individuals. Explaining the importance of virtues, she begins this series of the podcast with captivating stories we will never forget.

We often think that listening to the scriptures itself is a good deed. However there is no transformation until what is heard is put into practice. Reflection is a word many seekers get confused with, because it is a process that happens within the mind. Swamini Supriyananda methodologically explains the steps we should take and the questions we should be asking ourselves.

Listening is one of those processes we take for granted. Assuming that there is nothing more to it than just hearing what the other person has said. However, there are many different forms of listening, Swamini Supriyananda dwells on this topic and directs us towards the ideal type of listening for the scriptures.

We often feel stuck in a rut, or stuck in some sort of cycle in our daily life. Swamini Supriyananda discusses the importance of knowing who we really are to get out of this bondage/vicious cycle.
