In a world where we're often told to chase happiness, Gangaji's podcast episode "Being Yourself | The Longing is Your Ally" offers a refreshing perspective on embracing longing instead. Through a lively dialogue and reflections recorded in Western Australia back in 1999, Gangaji encourages us to stop running from our desires and instead, see them as a path to self-discovery.
With a touch of humour and wisdom, she shares that longing isn't something to be eradicated but embraced, as it can lead us closer to our true selves. The episode features engaging conversations that dive into the nature of longing and how it can be a guide rather than a hindrance. Gangaji suggests that this longing, often perceived as a void or dissatisfaction, is actually a call to return home—to the essence of who we are.
She shares anecdotes of people who have found laughter and love in the midst of suffering, highlighting the transformative power of accepting our deepest desires. Gangaji's teachings, inspired by her own mentor Papaji, remind us that the search for external satisfaction is futile. Instead, by surrendering to our longing, we can find peace and joy within ourselves. The episode invites you to question your own longings and consider how they might be pointing you towards a deeper truth.
So, if you're ready to stop searching and start embracing your desires, this episode might just be the nudge you need. Could it be time to call off your search and find freedom in what you've been longing for all along?
