What it’s Not

In this episode of The Daily Vedantic, James explores the concept of "neti neti," challenging rigid definitions and emphasizing the dynamic balance between action and renunciation. Through the guiding principle of "It's not what you do, it's what you do it for," we are reminded to examine our intentions and motivations in all aspects of life, paving the way for inner peace and fulfillment. Join us as we explore the deeper truths behind our actions and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
