Facing Fear: Gangaji on Embracing Our Human Frailty
The more you are willing to face the helplessness of being human, the more being human is not the problem.
Ever wondered if your fears are holding you back from true peace? In this thought-provoking episode, Gangaji and host Hillary Larson tackle the deep-seated fear of death and loss that often drives our suffering. Rather than running from these fears, Gangaji encourages listeners to face them head-on. She suggests that by embracing our helplessness and acknowledging our very human vulnerabilities, we can find a profound sense of peace and freedom.
Gangaji’s wisdom is rooted in the teachings of her mentor, H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), who emphasized the importance of self-inquiry and looking within for truth. Throughout the episode, Gangaji and Hillary explore how our fear isn't something to be transcended but rather understood and accepted. They discuss the power of letting go of control and resting in the reality of who we truly are.
By being honest about our fears and embracing our human flaws, we can uncover a deeper sense of self and find liberation from unnecessary suffering. Gangaji's relatable approach reminds us that being human, with all its imperfections, is not a problem to solve but a state to celebrate. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that promises to shift your perspective on fear and humanity.
