Episode 46 - Good Luck, Bad Luck, Who Knows?

Burgs Podcast

You don’t know what you are going to get in life – good luck or bad luck, who knows? Sometimes life goes your way and sometimes it does not. It does not matter what you get, it matters how you meet each experience with a clear mind. Burgs goes onto to discuss karma and consciousness and asks what do you know to be true? The views we cling to are highly predictable on account of the way our mind works and our conditioning. The “wisdom of the idiot” acknowledges that we know nothing and are open to life as it is – rather than rigidly clinging to our views.
