In this Q&A, the speaker explains that “intoxicated by desire” means the soul becoming bound by cravings and forgetting its true nature. Desire is the cause of the fall from Satya Yuga to Kali Yuga. The curse in the story means an inevitable outcome—ignorance will prevail in Kali, and knowledge in Satya. Between them lies the Sangam Yuga, the gradual return from darkness to light.

A clear Q&A on how ignorance inevitably gives way to knowledge, why curses/boons signify “what must happen,” how true acceptance differs from fatalism, and how the Buddha-state abides beyond pleasure and pain in the witness (sākṣī) awareness—while action continues.

A rich Q&A explaining the difference between fragmented and integrated consciousness, showing how Narada symbolizes our inner unified awareness and Brahma the collective universal mind. Together, these two forces guide great beings like Valmiki in creating divine works such as the Ramayana.
