The Perils of Consumption: A Ganesha Story [Part 2] [Episode 11]

What is the source of fulfillment? Does it come from finally getting that thing you’ve always wanted? The new job, the new house, new car, new relationship? In Part Two of our three part mini-series on life’s purpose and the temptations of wealth and success, we’ll explore the story of Ganesha and Kubera, the King of Gold. We’ll see what happens when you get caught up in the materialism of the world, always putting off your happiness until some time in the future once you’ve finally gotten that “thing”, and how this saps joy and fulfillment from your life. This is a great episode for you if you’ve ever found yourself thinking that once you get this thing or that thing, that you’ll finally be happy, only to then realize afterwards that you still feel unfulfilled.
