1818: Why Nothing in This World Satisfies Us

Episode Description from the Publisher

Voltaire — the greatest writer of the French Enlightenment wrote that there is a dim flame burning in every heart — an intuition that somewhere there is a home, a happiness that is real and lasting.  We spend our lives chasing it in bodies, children, homes, wealth, relationships. And it never quite delivers. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that intuition, what covers that dim light, and how the sacred texts of the bhakti tradition say it can be uncovered. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.40.10-24 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
