Learn about dharma, yoga, bhakti, and how it relates to all the basic questions of life. This show is about how to live your best life, let go of the external distractions, and uncover the spiritual happiness that lies within the heart as the true nature of the soul. Raghunath and Kaustubha's connection goes back to their teens in the New York Hardcore Punk Scene of the early 80s, through serving together as Bhakti-yogi monks in the 90's, to sharing their experiences in the world of yoga in the 21st century.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T04:17:18.519728+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126"},"episode":{"title":"1789: The Debt Krishna Cannot Repay | Arthur Ashe and the Signature of Real Love","slug":"1789-the-debt-krishna-cannot-repay-arthur-ashe-and-the-signature-of-real-love","published_at":"2026-07-01T12:45:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1789-the-debt-krishna-cannot-repay-arthur-ashe-and-the-signature-of-real-love","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1789-the-debt-krishna-cannot-repay-arthur-ashe-and-the-signature-of-real-love","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_1789_A_online-audio-converter.com.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"That is the signature of real love — not what you get out of it, but how impossible it feels to ever pay it back. Arthur Ashe, dying, wrote to his young daughter: \"You gave me so much happiness I can never repay you.\" He raised her. By any accounting, she owes him. And yet the giver feels the debt. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Krishna's confession to the gopīs: the Supreme Person, whom no one can place under obligation, declares He cannot repay their love. Not in a lifetime of Brahmā. The chapter opens with the gopīs unable to bear separation. It closes with Krishna unable to repay it. The longing that begins as theirs ends as His.
