In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, he and Raghunath explore how the teachings of Bhakti Yoga and the \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam help us confront mortality with clarity and spiritual perspective. But the same sacred text that reminds us of life\u2019s temporary nature also opens a window into the highest transcendence. As the discussion moves into the famous pastime of Krishna stealing the garments of the gop\u012bs, the hosts examine a profound distinction drawn by mystics like Rumi\u2014the difference between immorality and a realm beyond morality. In the spiritual world of Vrindavan, divine love is entirely selfless and pure, revealing a reality that transcends the ethical struggles of this world.  ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
