Are We Just Digging Holes Without Water? With Parvathy Baul

As spiritual seekers, it is very common to explore the many options available in the buffet of practices - mantras, yoga styles, different traditions and even religions. When we learn - we grow. And inaction, we may become complacent. But how do we know in this process of exploration and seeking, we aren't just digging a bunch of holes but won't find the water? In other words, while exploration and learning is suggested in spiritual seeking so is sticking to a practice and diving deep into it. How do we find the right balance as beginners on the path of self development? Parvathy Baul, the renowned teacher and guru in the Baul tradition, speaks on this deep-dive introspective journey. She speaks on her own mystical experience as a Baul, the role of music and guru in Baul and the balance between liberty and relentless practice within her tradition. She also sings for us!
