That's the insight Desmond Tutu \u2014 Nobel Peace Prize winner and moral architect of post-apartheid South Africa \u2014 pointed us toward: arrogance doesn't come from too much self-love. It comes from too little self-knowledge. It's the mask we wear when we can't bear to feel small. And the pendulum swings \u2014 from "I am the greatest" to "I am worthless" \u2014 and back again. Neither is true. In this episode Raghunath returns from a week working with a recovery community in Dayton, Ohio, where men coming off the streets were asked one simple question: who are you? The answers stopped him cold. "I am a divine light covered in a fleshy body." "I am a pure soul struggling in this flesh machine." That clarity \u2014 born not from comfort but from hitting bottom \u2014 is exactly what the Srimad Bhagavatam points toward. And when you can see the scared person underneath someone's arrogance, something shifts \u2014 you stop being offended and start feeling sympathy. That may be the most practical thing this episode offers. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
