## Resource

False pride might be the one thing standing between you and genuine happiness. We protect it, defend it, build our identity around it — and all the while it's quietly keeping us from the love, the freedom, and the ecstasy we're actually looking for. In the Govardhan Lila of the Srimad Bhagavatam, an ancient Sanskrit text on consciousness and devotion, Krishna shuts down the worship of Indra — not out of rivalry, not out of anger, but because he loves Indra too much to keep enabling what's keeping him small. The difficult events of our lives can be understood the same way. Not as punishment. As liberation. Krishna is not taking something from you. He's removing what's in the way. Because on the other side of false pride is something the Srimad Bhagavatam describes in vivid detail — a heart so open it can feel genuine ecstasy. Wisdom of the Sages exists to help you get there. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
