1569: Are We Seeking Truth or Emotional Comfort?
Manage episode 474590786 series 2602123

Discover how modern psychology’s insights into motivated reasoning and confirmation bias align with ancient yogic teachings on how desire and attachment distort our perception of truth. In this eye-opening episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how both science and the Bhakti tradition describe the mind’s tendency to protect its illusions rather than seek reality. Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they unpack why truth feels so elusive, how even scholars and scientist can be blinded by comfort zones, and why the Bhāgavatam’s vision of Krishna as the personal Absolute is the ultimate disruption to the ego’s false narratives.
🔥 Key Takeaways: • Your mind isn’t always seeking truth—it’s seeking emotional safety. • Vedānta through the lens of Bhāgavatam reveals a spiritual evolution that challenges impersonalism. • Why we may cling to comforting spiritual philosophies—even when they contradict the sacred texts. • How the modes of material nature (guṇas) influence our worldviews, preferences. • The difference between subjective attraction and ontological truth in the path of bhakti.
If you’ve ever wondered why intelligent people believe completely different things—even when reading the same sacred texts—this episode will open your eyes to the filters between the self and the truth.
🎧 Stream it now and rediscover how bhakti yoga offers clarity in a world clouded by illusion. 👉 Subscribe for daily drops of wisdom rooted in sacred text & lived experience.
