Episode 3
Sunday, 5 October, 2025
Have you ever wondered if there is a happiness that doesn't fade, a peace that worldly troubles cannot touch? What if the greatest fulfillment comes not from getting what you want, but from wanting nothing at all?In this profound exploration of Sutras 6, 7, and 8 of the Narada Bhakti Sutras, we journey into the heart of divine love. Discover the three signs of a true spiritual awakening. You will learn about the ecstatic state of divine intoxication, a sacred stillness that transcends the noise of the mind, and an unshakeable joy that arises from within your own Self.We unravel the beautiful paradox that pure love is completely free of desire because it is, in itself, complete fulfillment. Through the powerful and moving story of a young Swami Vivekananda at the temple, you will see how worldly concerns simply dissolve in the presence of the Divine. This episode redefines renunciation, not as a harsh sacrifice, but as the intelligent and natural choice of letting go of lesser things to embrace an infinite love, much like leaving a taxi to board an airplane to your ultimate destination.Join us to learn how to transform the endless fire of desire into the selfless warmth of service and find a love that asks for nothing but gives everything.What you will learn in this episode:The three experiential stages of realizing divine love; divine intoxication, sacred stillness, and self-delight.The critical difference between temporary worldly pleasures and eternal, blissful joy.Why true devotion is selfless and how focusing on service naturally quiets the mind.The wisdom of "natural renunciation," allowing attachments to fall away effortlessly as your love for the Divine grows.How to apply these ancient teachings in your modern life with simple, practical daily exercises.Keywords: Narada Bhakti Sutras, Bhakti Yoga, Vedanta, Hinduism, Spirituality, Divine Love, Renunciation, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Ramakrishna, Meditation, Self-Realization, End of Desire, Spiritual Joy, Service, Devotion.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)
