Core Concepts
Dharma to moksha — the six ideas every story assumes you know. 7 steps, about 35 minutes.
- Dharma: Start with the idea that drives every hero: your duty, your right way to live.
- Karma: Every choice ripples. Karma is the physics of action.
- Samsara: Those ripples carry across lifetimes — the wheel of birth and rebirth.
- Moksha: And the goal is to step off the wheel entirely. Not heaven — freedom.
- Brahman: What do you merge with? The reality behind everything: Brahman.
- The Four Yugas: Finally, zoom out: time itself moves in great circles, and we are in the darkest arc.
- The Upanishads: Want to go deeper? These ideas were first explored in the Upanishads.
