Wisdom of the Sages

Most Vedic literature speaks from a perspective within this universe. But some reveal that this universe is just a tiny bubble among countless others — and invite us to view our place in existence from outside. Depending on which angle we look from, either Vishnu or Krishna will appear to be the origin of the Avatars. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question alongside Akrūra's extraordinary vision in the Yamuna — seeing Vishnu in the water, coming out to find Krishna on the chariot, going back in and seeing Vishnu again. When I am seeing you, what have I not seen?
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.39.40-57

It is said that Krishna never takes one step out of Vrindavan. But it appears that he does leave, and breaks the hearts of the Gopis. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that image the idea of how it is true that he never left, what A holy place is, how anywhere can become one, and the six lessons a bhakti-yogi can learn from dogs.

What happens when an individual soul thinks the gifts they have are their own? Why do we see so many celebrities struggle, even though they have achieved so much success? Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the source of all opulences — beauty, strength, wealth, fame, knowledge, renunciation — and how when we receive even a touch of them we tend to think they are ours. And then the truth arrives. Crash.

To the philosopher, the weeping of Krishna's lovers looks like ordinary suffering. To the mystics it's the culmination of the highest knowledge. Evelyn Underhill — first woman to lecture in theology at Oxford — said the mystic speaks the disconcerting language of first-hand experience, something only really understood by another who has felt it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore what it means to move from thinking to tasting — and why the passion of the gopīs is where all philosophy ends.

It's not the coat of many colors that mattered. It was the love her momma sewed into every stitch. Dolly Parton understood something the Bhagavad Gīta states plainly: offer me a leaf, a flower, a little water — but offered with love, that moves me. It's not the grandness of the offering. It's what's inside it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that truth alongside Akrūra in the home of Krishna — fed, honored, overwhelmed. "What is unattainable for one who has satisfied the Supreme?" And yet those who truly love Krishna want nothing. They are so full of love there is nothing more the heart can desire.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.38.40 - 10.39.7
