The most obvious and pervasive realities are often the hardest to see. Like fish who don’t realize they’re swimming in water, we move through samsara — the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth — unaware of the forces shaping us.

In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the illusion that my experience is the most real, vivid, and important, and explore how yoga wisdom teaches us to zoom out, recognize our connection to the whole, and break free from self-centered existence.

Drawing on David Foster Wallace’s “default setting,” the story of the fish and the water, and King Yudhiṣṭhira’s profound greeting in the Mahābhārata, they reveal how to stop reacting to immediate causes — and start seeing the supreme cause behind everything.

Highlights:

•⁠ ⁠Why samsara — and its lessons — often go unseen •⁠ ⁠The illusion of separateness and self-importance •⁠ ⁠How to greet others in the spirit of liberation •⁠ ⁠How a rock star’s madness reveals the trap of ego •⁠ ⁠Why we stay busy counteracting symptoms while ignoring the cause
