Bhakti Recovery Podcast Shorties
Focus: Keeping the main thing the main thing – showing up and letting Krishna do His work.
Third Step of the Bhakti Recovery Group:
Making a conscious decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of Krishna as we understand Him.
Bhagavad Gita verses:
Chapter 3, Verse 36
Chapter 18, Verses 57-66
Lording over material nature, mode of passion
 
Key Insights:
Once yogurt is yogurt, we can't make it milk again – only Krishna can. We need Krishna because we are somehow spoiled and need His transformative grace.
Despite Krishna offering love and bliss, we often choose the equivalent of "poop rocks" instead – resisting the divine light.
Association with devotees helps train us to look at Krishna’s light rather than turning away.
Trust Krishna’s guidance, practice humility, and stay grounded in spiritual recovery.

"Let it go, and be free."
Forgiveness isn’t about excusing harm—it’s about freeing ourselves. When we zoom out beyond our egos, we see a bigger picture. Not everyone is meant to be our people, but they might be someone’s people. Wish them well and move on. No need for resentment, no room for vengeance—just space for peace.

"Let us love you until you can love yourself."
Sadhu Sanga—spiritual fellowship—is essential for growth. We lift each other up, offering encouragement and receiving it in return. In this sacred space, we empower and get empowered, learning through shared wisdom and love. Recovery and devotion thrive in connection.
