1807: We're All Kings for a Moment | King Canute and the Force of Time
from Wisdom of the Sages · host Raghunath Cappo and Kaustubha das
Commonly people speak of time as measurements – days, months, years, etc. Philosophers speak of time as the force that moves — and ultimately crushes — what we measure. The Viking King of England, Canute, said: "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings." Our beauty, our influence, our position — it comes and it goes by the force of time. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the power of time, the yogī's vision of sweet Krishna appearing as time personified, and how time is the enemy of the materialist and the friend of the spiritualist. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.37.14-33 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
