Ghalib Meets Psychology: Existential Crisis & Healing

"Ishrat-e-qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jana, dard ka had se guzarna hai dava ho jana."

Mirza Ghalib’s timeless couplet hides a powerful truth: that true healing often comes from the deepest suffering. In this episode, we explore how Ghalib’s poetry connects with:

Sufi spirituality and the idea of dissolving the self

Therapy & mental health in today’s world

Existential crisis & philosophy from Viktor Frankl to modern psychology

Why this 19th-century verse still resonates with anyone struggling with pain and healing today

If you’ve ever felt broken, searching for meaning, or curious about how poetry meets therapy, this episode is for you.
