In this episode, Gautamji explains Krishna’s description of yoga as the severance of our union with sorrow. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta, he discusses how desire itself reveals a sense of incompleteness and how spiritual knowledge directs us toward the permanent bliss of the Self. This pursuit requires determination and an undespairing mind, with the intellect directing our emotions and actions toward the higher goal.
