What are our actions guided by? What choices do we have when we are taking any action? Join me, as we unravel the age-old dilemma between the paths of preyas—the tempting, short-lived joys—and shreyas, the often challenging but fulfilling journey towards lasting contentment. This episode sheds light on why many of us stray towards immediate gratification despite knowing what truly benefits our well-being.

Through insightful examples and stories, we explore how the subtle intellect can guide us to make choices aligned with the path of the good, fostering self-purification and immortal bliss. Together, we will examine the vital principles of honesty, patience, and compassion as building blocks for a meaningful life. Whether you're seeking wisdom from ancient masters or practical guidance for everyday decisions, this episode invites you to reflect on your life's journey and the choices that define your pursuit of happiness.

This reflection is based on Self-Unfoldment by Swami Chinmayananda, which offers insights for enhancing our lives through the timeless wisdom of Vedanta.
