Summary: Craig and I engage in a discussion about spirituality and its transformative power. We explore the profound teachings of Sanatana Dharma, emphasizing the value of simplicity in spiritual practices. The conversation touches on the importance of embracing change, overcoming fear, and finding resilience amidst life’s challenges. Through introspection, compassion, and profound spiritual practice, the complexities of life dissolve and we become more aware of the beauty in ordinary moments during the journey towards the eternal / self-realization.
