## Resource

William James — the father of American psychology — spent years studying mystical and religious experiences across every tradition. What he found surprised him. When a person is seized by something bigger than themselves, suffering loses its sting, death loses its victory, and everything is swallowed up in a higher denomination. Nothing compares. The gopīs of Vrindavan knew this. Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at the apex of the Rāsa Līlā — where the gopīs finally open their hearts completely. We have abandoned our families and our homes. We have no desire other than to serve you. Our hearts are burning with intense desire generated by your beautiful smiling glances. Please make us your servants. The Srimad Bhagavatam confirms it: a person who has once relished the taste of the lotus feet of the Lord can do nothing but remember that ecstasy again and again. Once you've tasted this, nothing of this world can satisfy you. Nothing compares 2 U. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
