Bhakti


Transcript:

Hi! Welcome to another edition of "A Little Something About Everything." I was watching Richard Feynman—Professor Richard Feynman, he's a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. I was watching him on YouTube talking about rubber bands. And he could see the glitter in his eyes, and his hands were going this way, that way—he could see the atoms jiggling around and all this. And it was so entrapturing that I thought, "Dude, this guy is in Bhakti. He's in full devotion."

Because I heard Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in his commentary on the Bhakti Sutras. He describes a saint who says this: "If you look at a flower and you don't see the divinity in that flower, the flower feels sad saying, 'Whoa! You are not seeing the divinity that made me.'" But Richard Feynman, he was so, so, so engaged with the rubber band. It was just Bhakti.

I mean, advanced level physics and advanced spirituality—there is no conflict. They are all saying the same thing; they're just coming from different sides. And Bhakti is not so far away. Bhakti is just behind this window. There you go. That's Bhakti right there. Just have to open the window.

That's it for this edition. See you on the next one. Bye!
