Episode notes
Embodied Ecstasy Over Dry Liberation
- Sri Ramakrishna privileges embodied, ecstatic love over dry, disembodied liberation as the highest spiritual goal.
- Love for the infinite becomes infinitely fulfilling and transforms life into fearless play and devotion.
Crush‑Fueled Fearlessness
- Nishanth recounts a childhood crush and stealing frangipannias to illustrate fearlessness born from love.
- He links that middle‑school courage to the infinite fearlessness of loving God.
Practice As Play, Not Duty
- Play and nishkriya karma are central: do spiritual practice freely, not as goal-driven duty.
- Practice in freedom and play rather than performing actions to obtain outcomes.
