Wisdom of the Sages

1607: Ask Better Questions, Break the Cycle of Samsara


Listen Later

There’s a big difference between asking, “How can I change this?” and asking, “What am I meant to learn from this?” In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how asking bigger, zoomed-out questions can unlock real transformation—and how Krishna’s pastimes, far from being mere spiritual folklore, offer the deepest answers to the soul’s most urgent needs. They discuss how these pastimes are meant to be approached not just through a religious lens, but through an ontological, metaphysical, and Vedantic one—and that’s when their true power is revealed.

Key Highlights:

•⁠  ⁠How shallow questions keep us stuck, and zoomed-out questions can set us free •⁠  ⁠Why good questions aren’t always comfortable—but they crack things open •⁠  ⁠How to identify life’s summum bonum—and reorient everything around it •⁠  ⁠Seeing Krishna’s life through a metaphysical lens—not just a religious one •⁠  ⁠The danger of a life built on speed and comfort, but no direction

SB 10.1.1-8
