Reflections on Pets and the Divine Ground

In this deeply personal episode of Mystican Identity, I reflect on the life of my beloved dog, Riley, and the spiritual lessons his presence and passing have brought to me. Through stories and memories, I explore how Riley’s unconditional love, joy, and selfless service embody the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita on Karma Yoga and how his actions reflect the deeper truths of the Divine Ground.

This episode also touches on the idea that angels or divine beings can manifest in unexpected forms—perhaps even in the form of a pet. Drawing from the Bible’s reminder to be mindful that we may be "entertaining angels," I reflect on how Riley may have fulfilled a greater spiritual purpose in my life.

Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a pet or are seeking to understand the profound connection we share with all living beings, this episode invites you to reflect on the deeper spiritual bond we have with our pets and how their essence continues to live on, just as Riley’s does, within the Divine Ground.
