Longing To Be Good

In this podcast Gangaji and Producer Hillary Larson explore the ethics of awakening. With rare exceptions, human beings are innately good. Being in alignment with that goodness feels spacious. We can be greedy, cranky, critical, jealous, but being good? Now that seems like an infinitely better way to go. The problem is that being good can be a trap unto itself. Does our capacity for a deeper awaking rely on our willingness to cultivate this goodness within us? Or are we inherently good, without doing a thing?

Excellent and helpful Thank you.

This is a fascinating conversation...I think it will take me a few listens to unpack it all! Thank u 🙏

Wonderful and thought provoking

I cried like a baby when Gangaji said “you’re never going to be a good little girl”. I cried because my flawed hope to win everyone else’s approval dropped away - I was so tired of it. I could see that accepting my fallibility feels better than forever trying to reach perfection- what a relief! I could feel that all my mistakes haven’t changed the purity and innocence of who I am. I could see that simply being true to myself, my inner being is the happiness, joy and freedom of my life...wow!
