Studies show that beautiful people earn more, get hired faster, and receive lighter sentences in court. Beauty is power. But Dostoevsky saw the danger: "God and the devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man." Beauty pulls in two directions — one kind inflates the ego and drags the consciousness down without you noticing, another makes you want to be better, kinder, more alive. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that distinction — and the two very different ways the Vedantic traditions respond to it.
