The Spiritual Trap of Fighting Yourself | Q&A Asha Nayaswami

In this live Q&A, Asha Nayaswami answers questions by sharing personal stories about self-criticism, Swami Kriyananda’s guidance, karma and reincarnation, sincerity on the spiritual path, creative insecurity, judgment, and learning to persevere without fighting against yourself. Questions in this video: 0:00 — Why do we oscillate between commitment and resistance on the spiritual path? 9:05 — What is karma? Is illness inherited from ancestors or created by our own karma? 15:27 — Why do we get irritated with other people? What does judgment reveal about ourselves? Filmed at the Assisi Institute in Rochester, New York, April 2026. Asha’s work is made possible by the generosity of truth-seekers like you.
