About this episode

Gangaji explores how we suffer and the opportunity to set aside unnecessary stories of suffering through inquiry.

"The way you can discover directly that your story is an illusion is to try it on as if it were real. The magic trick is exposed in that moment." Rather than address the question "why do we suffer," Gangaji speaks to "how" we suffer, and how we perpetuate that suffering in our lives and in the world. In this exchange, we see a simple inquiry can lift our mental veils and offer the immediate opportunity to set aside any story of suffering we may cling to unnecessarily.
