29. Hurt by the World, Loved by God – Mystery of Love: God Is Giving Himself to You – Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.18 (Part 1) by SwamiMukundananda

In this episode, Swamiji explains Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 18, where Shree Krishna reveals that all devotees are noble, but the one who loves Him selflessly is most dear to Him. 

Swamiji highlights a powerful truth about love—what we often call love in the world is usually driven by self-interest, expectations, or personal happiness. True love, however, is selfless; it only seeks to give, not to take. 

He explains why worldly relationships often fluctuate, while divine love remains constant and pure. When we begin to practice selfless love towards God—without expecting anything in return—our devotion transforms into something deeper and more meaningful. 

Such love has immense power. It can bind God Himself, making Him respond to the devotee with complete grace and closeness. 

This episode invites you to reflect on your own understanding of love and take a step towards unconditional devotion—where love is no longer about receiving, but about offering.
