Why Do We Keep Looking Outside?

Why do we keep checking our phones, seeking approval, chasing success, or believing that the next achievement will finally make us feel complete?In this episode of Decoding U, we explore a timeless insight from the Katha Upanishad that reveals a simple truth about human nature: our attention naturally moves outward, and we often begin looking for lasting peace in things that are constantly changing.This isn't an invitation to reject the world. It's an invitation to notice where we place our expectations—and to discover whether what we're truly seeking can ever be found there.Through relatable everyday examples and a simple self-enquiry, this episode encourages you to observe your own experience rather than accept someone else's conclusions.Today's enquiry:"Right now, what am I expecting from the outside?"Take careJyoti KhatriAs always, you don't have to believe anything you hear.Simply notice whether it matches your own experience.If this episode resonates with you, follow Decoding U, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who might be asking the same questions.Before you look for another answer... keep decoding U.
