About this episode

Orin and Mira explore the meaning behind the phrase 'This too, shall pass' and its implications on attachment and impermanence.

We’ve all heard the phrase, “This too, shall pass.” It’s often offered as comfort during difficult times, a reminder that circumstances change and relief eventually arrives. In this week’s Deep Dive, Orin and Mira explore what happens when we look more closely at this familiar piece of folk wisdom and discover that it has something to teach us about attachment, impermanence, and the surprising freedom that comes from loosening our grip on life.
