Bob Dylan said he could never write a song like Blowin' in the Wind again. Marvin Gaye told Smokey Robinson that What's Going On wasn't his \u2014 it came through him. Every great artist eventually arrives at the same humbling, liberating realization: the music doesn't come from you. It comes through you. The Bhagavad Gita names this directly \u2014 Krishna says from him comes knowledge, remembrance, and forgetfulness. Whatever ability we have to create, to compose, to lift a single finger \u2014 it's being granted. And when we truly recognize that, the pressure drops and the joy deepens. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that teaching alongside the conclusion of the Govardhan Lila, where the gopis walk home singing \u2014 spontaneously composing kirtan straight from their hearts, overwhelmed with love. The means and the end are the same. In bhakti, we call it Krishnifying your life. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
