It's Not Personal

About this episode

The episode explores the deeper aspects of spirituality beyond personal desires, emphasizing the importance of surrendering to life.

We may get into spirituality for personal reasons: "I just want to find some peace" or "I want to quiet my busy mind." And that's fine. But as it is explored more deeply, one day we might find that it isn't necessarily about what we want. Something more, far more, is being asked of us. We discover that we are being asked (nicely at first) to surrender to life.
