Show notes

In this episode, Sanjay Gupta reflects on a quiet paradox of human desire — that what remains just out of reach often feels more valuable than what is already ours. Distance, denial, and uncertainty seem to intensify longing, turning absence into obsession.This episode explores how the mind elevates the unattainable, how scarcity sharpens desire, and how imagination fills the gaps left by reality. What cannot be held is often perfected in thought, untouched by flaws.This is a meditation on desire — on the difference between what we want and what we truly need, and on the subtle ways the mind convinces us that fulfillment lies just beyond our grasp.
