Episode 1835: Can You Love Without Possessing? | Siddhartha and the Art of Letting Go

0:00 1:00:34

A sage who has found peace beside the river is suddenly undone by love for a son he never knew he had, and Time, in the form of the river, laughs at him. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha read from Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha and ask whether we can love without trying to own. As Siddhartha struggles to let go, he catches a reflection that changes how he sees his own past. It opens a conversation about attachment, the pain we keep repeating until we learn from it, and why laughing at ourselves may be the first real step toward freedom. Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha • Bhagavad-gītā 9.4
