Episode 1789: The Debt Krishna Cannot Repay | Arthur Ashe and the Signature of Real Love

0:00 49:48

That is the signature of real love — not what you get out of it, but how impossible it feels to ever pay it back. Arthur Ashe, dying, wrote to his young daughter: "You gave me so much happiness I can never repay you." He raised her. By any accounting, she owes him. And yet the giver feels the debt. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha arrive at Krishna's confession to the gopīs: the Supreme Person, whom no one can place under obligation, declares He cannot repay their love. Not in a lifetime of Brahmā. The chapter opens with the gopīs unable to bear separation. It closes with Krishna unable to repay it. The longing that begins as theirs ends as His. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.32.15- 22
