Summary
The Supreme Truth—eternal, formless yet personal, beyond time and space—gets tied up with a rope. In this rich and revealing episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how love alone—not ritual, renunciation, or knowledge—can bind the Absolute. Featuring insights from Jesuit mysticism, Krishna's childhood pastimes, and a few insects with questionable IQs.
🌀 Topics include:
* Why the most advanced yogis can't catch what a mother's love can
* Love as the ultimate conclusion of Vedanta
* Mascara, butter theft, and the metaphysics of kajal
* Damodara-līlā and the yoga of divine intimacy
🎧 Tune in and rediscover yoga's greatest secret: only love delivers the soul.

| 0:00.0 | These are the questions that philosophers ponder, like, for instance, cause and effect. |
| 0:05.3 | This is kind of where, like, you know, to this day, the debates about religion go, right? |
| 0:12.2 | You say, well, this whole world had to be caused by something, right? |
| 0:15.4 | The scientists say, they can't answer that question. |
| 0:17.3 | What was the cause of it? |
| 0:19.0 | And the religious people say, well, we can't answer |
| 0:21.4 | that. It's caused by God. And then they say, okay, well, then what caused God? And then we answer, |
| 0:27.6 | in your little world, you think that everything has to have a cause. And everything in this world |
| 0:32.9 | does have to have a cause. But there can be something beyond this world and beyond its laws that's |
| 0:39.0 | beyond cause and effect. And that is what God is. And so therefore, you have a source that's |
| 0:46.7 | beyond cause and effect. And so it's speaking in this deep philosophical language and then saying |
| 0:52.8 | it's just that little boy, Krishna, that his mother |
| 0:54.5 | just tied up. And if she can tie that up, then imagine the power of her love, because the power |
| 0:59.6 | of your austerities doesn't do it, the power of your knowledge doesn't do it, the power of your |
| 1:03.9 | renunciation doesn't do it, the power of your rituals doesn't do it. None of these things do it. |
| 1:08.7 | It's only love, Love alone that does it. Oh, Nama, Bhagavati, Vasudeva. |
| 1:32.3 | Come on. |
| 1:36.3 | Life from Super Soul Farm, this is Wisdom of the Sages, a spiritual podcast with your host, Raghanov, and co-host and senior educator at the Bhakti Center in New York. |
| 1:44.5 | Co-Stubadas, it's Tuesday, August 26, 2025. It's episode 1661. Welcome to the show. |
| 1:54.1 | Welcome. Are you ready for a show, Kostuba? Yeah, I've seen, |
| 1:58.1 | you went and rebranded it right there on your own right. You just narrowed it down to a spiritual podcast. A spiritual podcast. Yeah, I know. Maybe we gotta go with a Bhakti Yoga podcast. We used to be... You know what? I think that a spiritual podcast could be anything. It's like, okay, we're going to talk about Rose Quartz, Mala's... Bacti Yoga podcast. A Bokhti Yoga podcast. Maybe. Let's talk about it. Off off the show. Well, Namra says the number one Harry Krishna podcast. And I don't think he was necessarily number one when he did that. He just said, you know what? I'm just going to see the future, you know? I'm going to see the future. How about if we say we're the number one. I don't think he was even concerned if it was in the future. I think he just said you know what i'm just going to i'm just going to see the future you know i'm going to see the future how about if we say we're the number one if he was even concerned if |
