In Bhagavad Gita 8.16–8.17, Krishna expands our vision of reality — from the fleeting pleasures of this world all the way to the cosmic lifespan of Brahma. Even the highest planet and the longest life are temporary. Everything material, no matter how elevated, eventually dissolves with time. In this episode, we’ll reflect on Krishna’s gentle but profound message: don’t aim for what fades — aim for what’s eternal. Through relatable analogies and introspective questions, we’ll explore how the same pattern of “earn, enjoy, repeat” plays out not just in material life but even in spiritual life when mixed with material motives. Krishna invites us to rise beyond the temporary — to choose connection over comfort, devotion over transaction, and love over reward. Because only bhakti, pure devotion to Him, carries us beyond the cycle of birth and death. ✨ Let’s zoom out, shift our perspective, and remember what truly lasts.
