Episode notes
Bhakti Grows With Knowledge
- Bhakti is the fruit of knowledge; you fall in love with the Lord as you gain understanding.
- Love for the divine grows deeper as your knowledge about it increases.
Real Self Beyond Body
- The self is beyond body, mind, and intellect and is imperishable.
- Realizing the self leads to freedom from fear and sorrow tied to the physical.
Two Prakritis of the Divine
- The Lord has two natures: manifest (visible) and unmanifest (invisible, indescribable).
- Both are aspects of the same reality, and devotion can be to either, but manifest form is easier to connect with.
