The Bearded Mystic Podcast

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the wisdom of one of my favorite poets Rumi. He was a 13th-century Persian poet, that has transcended geography, time, and ethnic divisions. He is known as the most popular poet because he often has quotes attributed to him that are shared on every social media platform!
In this episode, I go through the mystical poetry of Rumi that mainly focuses on what religion really is and the oneness of Truth, beyond traditions and institutions.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the 3rd chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 6 - 9. Krishna’s attempt in this verse is getting us ready to understand the important of restrain even as a householder. If we are still remembering past pleasures, we automatically will go for future experiences. Krishna guides that to control the senses, one needs to not have any attachment and must learn to observe and discern with the knowledge of Brahman. That person is a great karma yogi. Be honest with your life and act accordingly. Do your duties, look after your family. Earn a livelihood with honesty and integrity. Nobody can live a life without action. Sri Krishna would like us to offer every action to the Supreme. To Brahman.

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses how forgiveness doesn't make you a doormat but enhances your spiritual journey. Sometimes we hold onto grudges and this only creates hatred within us. Meditation or any spiritual practice helps us to increase our capacity to love, which in turn increases our capacity to forgive.
