- Self-worth and offering Compassion to ourselves

- Trusting that everything is the Dharma unfolding

- Becoming attached to God and Surrendering the false self

- The relative deity versus the absolute deity

- An evolution into Tantric devotion

- Receiving grace in every moment

- The four heavenly abodes in Buddhism and their enemies

- Our tendency to be bothered and taking responsibility

- A brief self-compassion and mindfulness practice

- Imperfection as a part of the shared human experience

- A quick Q and A with listeners on keeping an open heart and more

“The far enemy of love is hatred, but the near enemy of love is attachment. It looks like love, it smells like love, but it causes suffering. Very often our love, which we can extend here to our devotion, is a mixture of true love and attachment.” – RamDev
