About this listen

In this thought-provoking 25th episode of the Bhagavad Gita series, Amish Tripathi and Bhavna Roy explore Chapter 17, Verse 15, diving deep into the power of speech, the intent behind our words, and the subtle line between honesty and harm.

They discuss:

  • The concept of white lies — are they justified?

  • Why the truth should be spoken with love, but not avoided.

  • How the inability to face the truth can leave us vulnerable — as seen in the Mahabharata with Duryodhan and Shakuni.

  • The true strength of mind and character it takes to hear and speak the truth.

This episode blends timeless wisdom with real-life relevance — reminding us that what we say, and why we say it, shapes not just our relationships, but our destiny.

Listen in for a compelling blend of ancient philosophy, modern psychology, and storytelling.
