1579: Is Spiritual Truth Beyond Words? | Q&A Volume 271
Manage episode 478114609 series 2602123

Is trying to understand spiritual truth a futile task? Is it all beyond words and beyond the logical understanding of the human mind?
In this Q&A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Kaustubha Das, with guest host Kishori Gopi, takes on one of the deepest questions of spiritual life—whether the ultimate reality can be known, described, or even spoken of. Drawing from the ancient dialectic between Advaita Vedanta and Bhakti Vedanta, they explore how the Absolute is perceived across different schools of Indian philosophy, and whether Krishna’s teachings are meant to be understood—or simply surrendered to.
Then, things get bold and existential: If we’re not the body or the mind… why not just commit suicide? This intense question opens the door to a profound discussion on karma, the soul’s journey, and why trying to “opt out” is ill advised.
Morgan Freeman shows up. So does Groundhog Day. Somehow it all makes sense.
Key Highlights
* The Bhakti perspective: Krishna can be understood—and described—in rich detail * How Shankara’s “neti neti” approach led to the idea of the indescribable Absolute * Karma as a cosmic reformatory system * Why suicide doesn’t break the cycle—just moves it like a whack-a-mole * What Newton might say about karma (and why we’re not totally convinced) * “They muddy the waters to make them seem deep.” — Nietzsche, and also Kaustubha 🔥
