In this deep dive, we explore the fascinating relationship between rationality and spirituality, drawing insights from Carl Jung and Gholamreza Rashidi's thought-provoking book Dar Tarighat Ma. Rashidi challenges the way we view rationality, comparing it to "mother's milk"—essential at first, but potentially stunting growth when relied upon too much.We'll discuss:How over-planning and rational thinking might block spiritual growth.Carl Jung's perspective on the balance between intellect and intuition.Rashidi's analogy of life as a chessboard—revealing a profound shift in self-perception.The distinction between "trivial desires" and "great desires" and how they shape our lives.The pitfalls of spiritual pride and the ongoing journey of self-awareness.Join us as we unpack these ideas and discover how embracing the flow of life can lead to deeper fulfillment and resilience. Don’t miss the closing thought: Are you the chess pieces—or the chessboard itself
