In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Verse 22, where Krishna shares a profound truth: material pleasures, though enticing, are ultimately sources of suffering. Why? Because they have a beginning and an end—and whatever is temporary can never satisfy the soul’s deep longing for lasting happiness.

We dive into how fleeting pleasures trap us in cycles of craving and disappointment, and how wisdom means not rejecting pleasure, but seeing its limits clearly. Through relatable examples, insights from Srila Prabhupada’s purport, and practical tools like the "FIT" method (Futility, Insubstantiality, Temporality), this class helps us understand how to rise above the illusions of sense gratification and seek deeper joy through spiritual connection.

💡 Topics include:

• Why sense pleasures are “pregnant with misery”

• The emotional rollercoaster of hankering and lamentation

• How to strengthen our inner guidance and intelligence

• What makes a spiritually grounded relationship

• Why real fulfillment comes from turning inward and upward toward Krishna

Join us as we learn to discern what actually serves our soul—and begin to build a life of lasting peace, connection, and joy.

We’re surrounded by messages that tell us happiness lies in achieving more, buying more, and being more. But what if real joy doesn’t come from chasing external pleasures—but from turning inward? In this episode, we dive into Bhagavad Gita 5.21, where Krishna reveals the secret to lasting fulfillment. We explore the difference between loud, fleeting desires and our deepest spiritual longing—and how honoring that inner desire leads to a joy that doesn’t fade. Through metaphors, real-life reflections, and Gita wisdom, this episode invites you to step off the treadmill of “never enough” and rediscover the limitless happiness that’s already within you.

In this episode of The Gita in Action Podcast, we dive into the powerful concept of equal vision as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. 🌟

When we see beyond the material world and recognize the divine essence in all living beings, we begin to experience liberation—free from attachment, aversion, and the influence of the three modes of material nature. By cultivating spiritual vision, we can transcend judgments and discrimination, embracing love, compassion, and connection with all.

We explore how adopting this vision allows us to stay calm amidst life’s turbulence, view every situation as God’s kindness, and ultimately realize our true spiritual identity. 🙏

Join us in this episode to learn how to rise above the material world and develop a deeper connection to the divine. 💫
