    Podcast Description — Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad | Chapter 2 | Part 4 (Yājñavalkya–Maitreyī Dialogue, I)

    What if I told you that every love you’ve ever felt—for your spouse, your child, your success, your money, your respect—was actually a hidden search for one thing? In Chapter 2, Part 4, the Upaniṣad gives one of the most life-shifting teachings ever spoken in human history—through the intimate dialogue between the sage Yājñavalkya and his wife Maitreyī. Yājñavalkya is about to renounce worldly life, and Maitreyī asks a question that hits like lightning: “If I get the whole world’s wealth, will I become immortal?” And the answer opens a door that never closes. This episode takes you into the famous mantra: “Not for the husband’s sake is the husband dear… not for the wife’s sake is the wife dear… not for the children’s sake are children dear… but for the sake of the Self.” The Upaniṣad isn’t insulting love—it’s purifying it. It’s saying:You don’t truly love objects. You love the inner fullness you taste through them. And when you discover the Self (Ātman), love becomes free, fearless, and non-possessive. Then comes the core practice-line of the Upaniṣad—your complete spiritual method in one sentence: Ātmā vā are draṣṭavyaḥ —The Self must be realised: Śravaṇa (hear it) Manana (reflect on it) Nididhyāsana (meditate deeply until it becomes lived truth) ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover: Why wealth can give comfort, but not immortality Why attachment becomes pain, and how Self-knowledge dissolves possessiveness How to love your family more deeply without turning them into your identity A simple daily practice to shift from control → clarity → compassion If you’re a parent, teacher, seeker, or simply a human trying to love without fear—this part is medicine.
