In this episode of "The Daily Vedantic”, James looks into the transformative power of Vedanta, likening it to the development of a sixth sense—the intellect. Reflecting on a heartwarming video of a six-month-old baby hearing for the first time, Beshara emphasizes the profound impact of perceiving through time and cultivating the intellect. Vedanta, unlike other philosophies, recognizes the intellect as an essential inner guide, providing the capacity to discern and navigate life's complexities. Beshara encourages listeners to appreciate the balance between emotional impulses and the discernment offered by the intellect, asserting that daily reflection within Vedanta unlocks an invaluable sixth sense, enhancing one's journey through various aspects of life.
The Daily Vedantic is a daily podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads (https://www.thedailyvedantic.co). 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.
