Description

Anne Frank once wrote, “No one has ever become poor from giving.” In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the universe itself is designed to train us to give—first through external acts of sacrifice and service, and ultimately by offering the heart. Through the lens of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and the Bhagavad-gītā’s peace formula (5.29), they unpack why we are born to give, not to possess, and how life’s tapas transforms into joy when directed as seva.

Key Highlights
* Born to Give (not to hoard): generosity as the soul’s natural state.
* The Peace Formula (BG 5.29): nothing is mine; everything offered; the Divine is your best friend—goodbye anxiety.
* Clinging = anxiety: the more we hold, the more we fear losing—until devotion reveals what truly remains.
* Life as tapas: work, family, and projects become spiritual practice when consciously offered.

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.11.1-11
