Summary

Anxiety, envy, fantasy, or gratitude—whatever you feed in the mind will take root and expand. That’s not just yogic philosophy, it’s neuroscience. 

The wisdom of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the story of Śaubhari Muni reveal how subtle desires, left unchecked, can grow into powerful distractions that completely reroute the course of life.

In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how our thoughts shape our inner algorithm, and how Bhakti offers a path back to clarity, intention, and true spiritual direction.

Key Highlights:
•⁠  ⁠“The seed you water is the seed that will grow.” – Thích Nhất Hạnh
•⁠  ⁠How to retrain your mental algorithm like a spiritual social media feed
•⁠  ⁠Why material desires don’t die out—they intensify
•⁠  ⁠Bhakti is the addiction that liberates
•⁠  ⁠The path back from confusion isn’t judgment—it’s intention

📿 Tune in for a timely reminder that where your attention goes, your life follows.

Go to my website, this is for you. Have a great day. If we look at our existence from this perspective that we're getting from Vedanta,

0:58.7

right, that from Bhagavigita, you know, that in a sense, this world is a reflection,

1:02.9

in a sense it is a virtual reality, in a sense it is a dream, choose your metaphor.

1:08.4

But if that's the case, and if we look at it through that lens and then we say,

1:14.2

now within that, how often am I searching for another escape from this, a dream within this dream?

1:23.1

Like how often do I search for that escape or how much time do I actually spend in it?

1:42.0

1:46.0

searching outside, which is really just going to that double layer. What if we turned around

1:52.6

and we started looking for reality? What if we said, where do I come from rather than like,

1:59.2

where do I wish I was?

2:02.2

I like that.

2:02.8

2:06.1
