I don\u2019t owe anybody anything.\u201d It\u2019s the modern dream: happiness without obligation. Moral teachings answer that we\u2019re woven into a web of mutual obligation. Deeper spiritual teachings explain why: in a real sense we are one, parts of one whole, made of the same divine energy, so you can\u2019t hurt another without hurting yourself. The deepest teachings add that we are also eternally distinct, and that difference is what makes love possible: a love so intimate that God lets himself forget he\u2019s God, just so his parents can hold him on their laps. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha trace that ascent, from the writings of James Baldwin to Krishna\u2019s pastimes in the \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam. \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam 10.45.1\u201319  ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
