When we were kids, we all have some stars.

Yes.

See if I'm on base with this.

And maybe it's the athlete with the highlight reel or the musician who speaks to our teenage angst or the movie celebrity who just seems larger than life.

And it's not all bad.

Those people can inspire us or show us what talent or focus or

creativity can do but somewhere along the way we start to worship them it switches right we

hang a poster we quote them like scripture right or we think that's, that's greatness. And then Bhakti starts

two highs, like the morning sun, right? Something real, something eternal starts to glow in the

heart. And suddenly all those stars that once lit up our sky, they're faded.

They're still there,

but you see them for what they are.

Little lights against something infinitely brighter, right?

That's when you realize it's not the fame.

It's the light behind everything that deserves our love. Oh, no, Bhagavati, Vasudevaea.

Oh, na, ma'am, ba'a'ape, bas-de-ba-ya. Bha, come on the bigabhāti, Vasudeva.

Come on.
