In this episode, we dive into what it means to live from love — exploring the role of spirituality in mental health, faith versus blind belief, the Sanskrit wisdom of the divine, and how every action can ripple with sacred meaning.
Topics we discussed:
The feeling of Christmas — and how that sense of warmth connects to spirituality
Why spirituality can deeply protect mental health (drawing on research, work referenced by Lisa Miller, PhD)
The heart’s purpose: to love and to be loved — especially divine love (prema)
The difference between genuine faith and blind belief or skepticism
Understanding the divine through the lens of three dimensions: Brahman (the absolute), Paramatman (the supreme soul), and Bhagavan (the “personal” divine)
What it would feel like if we approached every action as an act of love
Reflections on life’s delicacy, sacredness, and meaning — inspired by the Govardhan Eco Village monks
