The Mirror & The Master: Ancient Poetry for Modern Self-Reflection
Description
Why is it easier to judge a stranger in traffic than to look in the mirror?
In this episode, we explore the intersection of Psychology and Urdu Poetry to understand the human urge to criticize others. Using the timeless wisdom of Ghalib and Khumar Barabankavi, we discuss how the "Mirror Principle" serves as a masterclass in Emotional Intelligence.
We break down why Self-Help often fails when we forget to move from judgment to Mindfulness. By treating the mirror as a tool for Meditation and neutral Self-Observation rather than a source of shame, we unlock a new level of Personal Development.
Inside the Episode:
The Mirror of Khumar: Why "Tabsira" (critique) requires a reflection first.
Ghalib's Defiance: Understanding your true identity in a world of unwanted advice and constant judgment.
Mental Wellness: Learning that you are the observer of your feelings, not the feelings themselves.
This is more than just a Poetry Podcast; it is a journey into Spirituality and Philosophy designed to improve your Mental Wellness and help you navigate modern life with more empathy and less stress.
