“You Are That” — But Not Like That | Vyasadeva on Love as the Highest Truth
Kaustubha Das
2,512 views
The Great sage Vyāsadeva compiled over 500,000 verses of sacred wisdom, yet his teachings seemed to point in different directions: good karma, renunciation, or divine love. Sensing the confusion, his guru urged him to speak plainly, and the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam was the result. In this talk at the Brooklyn Rādhā-Govinda Temple, part of Bhakti Night's Dialogues in Devotion series, Kaustubha Dāsa explores its opening dialogue, where a gathering of sages asks “Please select the essence of all these scriptures and explain it for the good of all living beings, that by such instruction their hearts may be fully satisfied.”
Key Highlights
• What a single ray of sunlight reveals about the Vedic aphorism Tat Tvam Asi, "You are that"
• Why the bliss of inner peace may be, in one sense, nothing more than relief
• How understanding the gradations of truth on spiritual paths can actually dissolve sectarianism
