Swami Satchidananda answers a question about the meaning behind the story of a devotee who was jealous of Lord Krishna’s flute. The flute represents the pure instrument, without its own agenda, through which divine music can flow. This leads into an explanation of the special siddhis (spiritual accomplishments) that also flow from being living a life dedicated to spiritual unfolding.
