In this podcast, Gautamji explains why the wise choose the path of knowledge, anchoring their goal in Self-realization. He outlines the spiritual path journey, where growth becomes possible only when effort is guided by true understanding. When one gains the knowledge to rise above attachment—by renouncing the fruits of action—higher values naturally emerge. Acting upon these values, the lower desires gradually fall away. Gautamji explains that as the intellect crosses the mire of delusion, one becomes dispassionate to the external pull of the senses. This is a stage of inner clarity and deep spiritual maturity where wisdom replaces dependence on external knowledge.
