In this episode, Gautamji explains Krishna’s warning about rejecting the teaching of Vedanta—treating the laws of life as optional and then wondering why there is stress, conflict, and dissatisfaction. He shows how, without this fundamental wisdom, even great learning and success in other fields remain misdirected, like a large house lit in only one room. Living, he reminds us, is an art and a skill: when it is not learned and practiced, the result is inner ruin and outer chaos.
