Kamla Kapur: Finding Light in Life's Challenges
Our suffering can be our greatest tutor and our greatest guide.
Ever felt like life's hardships are just too much to bear? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Kamla Kapur, an award-winning author, poet, and playwright, to discuss how suffering can actually be a powerful teacher. Kamla, who splits her time between the serene Indian Himalayas and bustling San Diego, brings a unique perspective shaped by her rich cultural and academic background.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Literature from Kent State University and has studied Creative Writing at the University of Iowa. Her new book, *Rumi: Tales of the Spirit: A Journey to Healing the Heart*, serves as a springboard for their conversation. They dive into how we can transform our struggles into opportunities for growth and resilience. Kamla emphasizes that suffering isn't just something to endure but can be a guide that helps us find deeper meaning and strength.
Through storytelling and prayer, she believes we can connect with the light within us and reshape our narratives to see our challenges as stepping stones rather than obstacles. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to turn their pain into purpose and find awe in the complexity of existence.
