Summary
In a world engineered for distraction, yoga becomes the deliberate practice of training the mind to place its attention where meaning, clarity, and love actually grow. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore attention as the most valuable thing we possess — and the one thing modern culture constantly hijacks. Drawing from Simone Weil's insight that attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity, and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam's metaphor of glowworms shining when real stars are covered, this episode exposes how noise replaces wisdom, visibility replaces value, and misplaced attention quietly shapes our consciousness — while bhakti offers a radical way to reclaim it.
