================
Duncan Trussell and Dr. Robert Svoboda continue their Mindrolling conversation with Raghu around trust and surrender, decentralized gurus, and the complexity of everyday karma.
This podcast was recorded live on stage at the 2019 Open Your Heart in Paradise Retreat in Maui.
Trust in the Teacher
Raghu opens the show by asking about trust and surrender when it comes to our teachers. Robert reflects on how trust played a role in his relationship with his guru, Vimalananda.
“If we simply have not yet developed stable trust, there is no sense in forcing ourselves to surrender to our teachers out of a blind sense of duty. In the end, what we are able to accomplish in our relationship with our teacher all leads back to trust.” - The Seventeenth Karmapa
Decentralized Gurus (13:11)
Duncan returns to his role as the skeptic as he ponders how hard it is for some people to trust so freely. He talks about the concept of centralized versus decentralized gurus. Robert reflects on some of the ‘guru dramas’ that can develop in spiritual communities.
“I just think we’re entering into the age of decentralized gurus - gurus that are the sum total of all of us.” - Duncan Trussell
Everyday Karma (24:45)
Raghu, Duncan, and Robert answer questions from the audience about dealing with karma on a day-to-day basis, and the impact of our ancestors on our DNA. Robert delves into the complexities of karma, using a story of Krishna as a backdrop.
“So, always try to make different mistakes. And try to understand what your personal dharma is. What are you supposed to be doing in life?” - Dr. Robert Svoboda

The whole last 10 minutes from Robert is fantastic. I like his approach, merging current scientific theories with bhuddism and spiritualism. Very cool

[@RickRoy117]

Brother he didn't talk about Buddha, But Shiva, the Ultimate Being in Hindu Cosmology and Dharma
You should read his book Aghora

[@jesuisravi]

the true guru is like a tall mountain seen from a great distance. You look and think, Oh, that wouldn't be so hard to climb. And you don't realize that your are seeing something that is 50 or 100 miles away! If you ever get close up to see it as it really is...oh wow, oh wow, oh wow!

Duncan is so funny! and wonderful

[@alschnur]

I’m looking for the part where he talks about thoughts and what are thoughts. There’s a point where he refers to them as dictators. Does anyone know where it is in this recording
