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.
