Summary
The moment you think your group owns God is the moment He begins to slip away.understood this. When Bill Wilson, founder of AA and a devout Christian, wrote the program that would help millions get sober, he kept it simple: we have no monopoly on God. We merely have an approach that worked for us. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha bring that insight into conversation to it's esoteric pinnacle: the Rāsa Līlā — where the moment the gopīs feel proud of their closeness to Krishna, he disappears. Not as punishment but as mercy. In union you see your beloved in one place. In separation you see him everywhere. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.41-48 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
