With humor, vulnerability, and sharp philosophical insight, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the gritty reality of spiritual growth: that it sometimes begins with a period of loss, confusion, or even melancholy—but on the other side is joy, clarity, and freedom.

This Q & A episode tackles big, relatable questions from listeners on the spiritual path:

•⁠ ⁠How do I live a life of dharma—seeing the good in everyone—without letting people take advantage of me or drain my energy? •⁠ ⁠How do I practice detachment without becoming emotionally distant from the people I love? •⁠ ⁠Does devotion to Krishna mean not exploring other spiritual traditions?

Discover how the simple mantra “Adjust. Tolerate. Focus.” can become a compass when life feels chaotic and the heart is pulled in too many directions.

Key Highlights: •⁠ ⁠Adjusting your circumstances vs. tolerating them—and how to know which to do •⁠ ⁠Why Krishna’s blessings can feel like lemon in milk—and why that’s a good thing •⁠ ⁠The difference between real detachment and just shutting down emotionally •⁠ ⁠A perspective-shifting metaphor about butter that’ll stick with you forever •⁠ ⁠Why kirtan and philosophy together are like spiritual ayahuasca (minus the vomiting)

Whether you’re navigating toxic coworkers or simply trying to love your family without losing yourself, this episode will give you both tools and comfort for the inner work that really matters.
