Ask Gurudev Anything
August 19
The topic for this episode was “I Am Because We Are”. Gurudev answered questions on the interdependence of individuals. This topic touched upon the fact that humans cannot exist in isolation. Such thinking leads to the idea that our human nature is fundamentally relational and is linked to others. No matter who we are, as individuals, we depend on connection, community, and caring. We simply cannot be without each other!
