Episode Summary:

Dive into the root of self-sabotage: attachment. Discover how binding to impermanent aspects of the world limits our freedom and happiness. Vedanta's wisdom teaches that true contentment lies not in fulfilling desires but in their cessation, liberating ourselves from these attachments. This reflection offers profound insights on understanding and overcoming the core problem of attachment in our quest for freedom.
