Why do we sometimes act against our own best intentions—say the sharp thing, make the hurtful choice, or spiral into burnout even when we deeply want to do good?

In this episode, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi sit “under the banyan tree” with Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, verses 36–41, exploring Arjuna’s question to Krishna: What impels a person to act, even to do harm, “as if urged by some force”?

Together they unpack:

  • Rajas guna as the restless force behind desire, anger, and overaction
  • How this same energy fuels both life and violence—from spring blossoms to the battlefield
  • The slippery slope from mental agitation to tamas, inaction, and even war
  • The difference between true compassion and compassion fatigue—“caring too much for too long about what we cannot change”
  • How daily yogic practice, self-awareness, and discernment (viveka) help us clear the dusty mirror of consciousness

Drawing on women’s lived experience, the hosts weave in examples from family life, activism, and spiritual figures like Mahatma Gandhi and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This conversation is an invitation to hold righteous anger, deep care, and wise action together—without burning out or checking out.
