Swami outlines the progression from religious life to experiential spirituality, explaining how contact with saints can make us eligible for spirituality, even if we come from a background of irreligiosity. Swami stresses the importance of understanding tattva, philosophy, in order to give fully, illustrating the intangible yet nourishing power of giving with a story of children playing baseball. After contending that Krsna is not actually speaking about different types of yoga in the Gita, Swami ends with a lively explanation of Gaudiya Vedanta in relation to other sampradayas and their founding acaryas.
