1809: The Fish in the Water Is Thirsty | Kabir and the Departure of Gus

"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house, and you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look." Kabir — the fifteenth century Indian mystic poet claimed simultaneously by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs — saw it clearly. We are made of God's energy, sustained by God's energy at every moment. And somehow we're thirsty for what is nothing but- God's energy. 

In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that image alongside Akrūra's journey to Vrindavan — and the four verses that summarize the entire Bhagavatam: God exists within everything and beyond everything. When you see without relation to him, know it as his illusory energy. 

Today's episode is also a farewell. Gus — beloved dog, fixture of the podcast from its very beginning — prepares to depart with the blessing and love of devotees. May you go back to the Lord sweet Gus.
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.38.11-15
