In this episode of The Daily Vedantic, we dive deep into the concept of "mamaha," or "mindness," and explore how our sense of possession creates separation, dissatisfaction, and agitation in our lives. From parenting to business, the idea of "this is mine" limits our ability to experience true peace and harmony. Learn how shifting from "mine" to "ours" can open the door to unity and contentment, and how this ties into the philosophy of Vedantic teachings on sameness, or "samaha."
The Daily Vedantic is a daily podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads (https://thedailyvedantic.com/). Dating back to over 5,000 years ago, the source of nearly all Eastern Philosophy, and loved by Western giants from Emerson to Thoreau to Carl Jung and Alan Watts, studied daily by Joseph Campbell to Aldous Huxley to Arthur Schopenhauer and countless others, The Daily Vedantic aims to make this ancient philosophy as modern and accessible as it is simple, practical — and profound.
