Paul Simon's bittersweet lyrics set the stage for this raw and funny exploration of why even life-changing insights often slip through our fingers. Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the slippery nature of spiritual determination — and how each of us can make the simple but bold choice to live a meaningful life before the clock runs out. This episode blends music, humor, and timeless wisdom from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Highlights include: • What Paul Simon teaches us about missing our moment • How Kamsa fell back into old ways after glimpsing wisdom — and why we do too • Why meaning matters more than magnitude in what we do • The elements of a Vishnu-centered society — and the surprising roles of cows and brahmanas Don't let your breakthroughs slip away — tune in now!
