“Yoga doesn’t call us to be anything except less attached and more aware.”
In this episode of DIVO-Ted Talks, I explore the word that surfaced during his reflection and meditation: avarice—excessive greed, attachment, and the endless hunger to accumulate more.
Through the lens of yoga philosophy and Ayurveda, I unpack how avarice isn’t just about money or material things—it can show up as hoarding power, clinging to identity, or even obsessing over emotional validation. Offering you a call to awareness, not judgment, by challenging us to see where our attachments may be causing unnecessary suffering.
You’ll learn:
✅ What avarice really means and how it hides in plain sight
✅ Why attachment is the root of suffering, according to yoga and Ayurveda
✅ How to live with less grasping and more flow, freedom, and awareness
✅ Why letting go isn’t weakness—but a return to wholeness
