#128: Discover Your Dharma with Sahara Rose

Societal Impact

Sahara Rose explains that discovering one's dharma, or soul's purpose, is crucial for living a fulfilling life. She emphasizes that societal norms often push individuals into a state of 'karma,' where they live in constant agony, disconnected from their true purpose. Mark Groves adds that societal expectations can lead people to ignore their true desires and follow a path that doesn't align with their dharma 1.

Most of us are so used to, as a society, feeling like this, seeing everyone around us just living for Friday, living for happy hour, living for some type of end that they don't even know where it really exists, that we're living in this constant state of agony.

Rose introduces the concept of 'Kriya,' a state of flow and boundless action, as the ideal way to live, contrasting it with the societal norm of constant struggle 2.

   

Breaking Free

Sahara Rose discusses the journey from self-improvement to self-knowledge, highlighting that true fulfillment comes from knowing oneself rather than constantly trying to improve. She explains that societal pressures often make people feel inadequate, pushing them to seek self-improvement rather than self-discovery 3.

The idea of improving self is there's something wrong with me, as opposed to knowing myself, which is getting rid of the things that are not you, getting rid of the behaviors and all the things that are out of alignment with your dharma, with your soul's essence.

--- Mark Groves

Groves shares his personal experiences of breaking free from societal norms to embrace authenticity, emphasizing that this journey is not linear but a spiral of continuous growth and self-discovery 4.
