Show Notes
Once you understand and realise that we are all one, that we are all that one pure consciousness; you can then see the logic of humility and compassion. The feeling that "I" am different from the "other" is an ego generated illusion that leads us to feel superior or inferior to others -- let go of that and be humble because wherever you've reached is not because of you and wherever you'll go is not because of you either. And if we are all one pure consciousness, then can pure compassion for the insect and the cow and the cashier at the supermarket be far behind? You'll feel it too once you know the truth.

Guha, the forest king, narrates the story of his obsession with kicking Shiva's statue. This is a wonderful lesson on the power of constant, obstinate seeking.
Ramayana is by far my favorite story of all time and a story that has touched me like no other. Lord Rama's forbearance and selflessness in spite of severe travails and suffering is impossible to emulate but an inspiration that has touched the hearts of millions. I'd like to talk a little about this story, his character and his life in the coming episodes.
