Ep 595: This Ancient Practice Will Transform How You React to Stress

In this episode of The Daily Vedantic, we break down how to actually live Vedanta in daily life — not just as an idea, but as a practical tool for dealing with anger, jealousy, irritation, and everyday stress. We explore the Vedantic distinction between the mind and intellect, how to gain “balcony perspective” when emotions surge, and why selfishness is the hidden root of agitation. Through simple, real-world examples — from traffic to parenting to workplace frustrations — we reveal how reducing selfishness and strengthening the intellect leads to more clarity, harmony, and inner freedom. A grounded, actionable guide to practicing true philosophy in real time.
