You know, we have to take a step and not backslide.

And that discomfort that we experience in getting there can kind of purifies of something,

you know, like ring out something out of us as we climb up. And I think the death of one's parent is one of these rights of passage in life you know is a stage of

passage where i this is when you ask me how i felt one thing that i felt the things that i'm feeling

most profoundly are relief for my for my mother i feel good about what i can do for her here

but i also feel like for myself,

it's like the world is speaking to me, right? And saying, you know, you can't go back to having a

mother. That is over. It's gone forever. And, you know, are you ready for that? Are you prepared for it? And

don't you understand that you're not far down the line, that this is how this world works,

you know? And it's sobering. But when you've been practicing Bhakti for years, it's it's sobering,

and that sobering can feel a little

uncomfortable, but it also makes you feel like, okay, it's what needs to grow in me is growing,

you know, so that I, so that I can walk this path, and I can, that this isn't just theory, and that I will, that I will, that I so that I so that I can walk this path and I can that this isn't just theory

and that I will that I can let go and and and and transcend yeah oh oh my godava beth

ba'hasa'i ah yeah Oh, no, Bhagavati, Vasudevaya.
