Embracing Paradox through Tao Te Ching: with Prashanthi Amarnath

In this episode, I sit down with Prashanthi Amarnath for a discussion on Tao Te Ching, the paradoxical nature of truth, and the ways we interpret our lives as sacred scripture. Prashanthi Amarnath is a writer, translator, and contemplative practitioner exploring the Tao as a lived experience rather than a philosophical concept. Through her book, Embracing Paradox, she offers a deeply human, accessible translation of Tao Te Ching that explores the Tao as an embodied reality. Every translation of a sacred text is ultimately an interpretation. Leading us back to how we read our own holy text — ourselves. We are the living book of the Real, the walking Bible, Quran, Tao, Gita… And the way we interpret our own lives changes with the context that we live in. We don’t see ourselves in the same way we did 10 years ago. Every second a new reality is born. It’s up to us to see it, interpret it, and make choices that shape a new reality. This conversation is a heart-opening dive into the interpretation of the sacred and the nameless. You can learn more about Prashanthi and read the first few chapters of her book on her website: 👉
