Where is Krishna when we need him? Turns out, he's inside each of us. And he has some choice words for me.
In Part 2 of The Hour of Excellence, Krishna arrives—calling me an idiot—and reveals the Raja Guhyam (Royal Secret): the divine spark emerges when we pursue excellence with complete sincerity.
From making Palak Paneer to fighting climate change, the path is the same: lose yourself in the work, forget the outcome, and discover that YOU are the Krishna you've been waiting for.
Where Jordan Peterson says "Become who you could be," the Gita whispers "You already are That." Soham. I am That.
When billions of us awaken our inner Krishna—when we pursue excellence not for results but for the act itself—we don't just solve climate change. We consciously evolve from mankind to Godkind.

💡 THE CORE MESSAGE:
God is not something external to worship. God is the quality that emerges when you do ANYTHING with complete sincerity and devotion—whether that's making Palak Paneer, writing code, raising children, or fighting climate change.
The taste doesn't matter. The outcome doesn't matter. What matters is that you lost yourself in the doing. That's when the Krishna in you surfaces. That's when you realize: Soham. I am That.

💬 DISCUSSION QUESTION:
What's your "Palak Paneer moment"—the work where you lost yourself so completely that time disappeared? That's where your inner Krishna lives. Share in the comments. 🙏

🎯 IF YOU'RE NEW HERE:
This is Part 2 of a 2-part series. If you haven't watched Part 1, start here: • The Drowning Baby and the War We're Losing...
Part 1 establishes why we're paralyzed (Dhritarashtra created the problem, Arjuna can't act). Part 2 reveals the solution (Krishna is within, accessed through excellence).
You CAN watch Part 2 standalone—I provide a 30-second recap—but the full journey is richer if you start from the beginning.

🎬 PRODUCTION NOTE:
This talk was originally delivered at the Heartfulness Institute summit. The grandmother moment at 5:50 is my favorite 90 seconds—if you've ever had your pride wounded by someone casually dismissing your hard work, you'll feel this one deeply.
Thank you for being here. If this resonates, please share it with someone who needs to hear it. 🙏
Soham. I am That. You are That. We are That.
