1709: Knowing the Price, Missing the Point
Netflix has a price, but what's the cost of what it does to you? Raghunath and Kaustubha riff on Oscar Wilde's brutal truth—people know the price of everything and the value of nothing—and trace how modern consumption can quietly make the mind coarse, restless, and spiritually numb. They then turn to the 10th Canto of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, reading radiant verses of Kṛṣṇa's Vṛndāvan pastimes—scripture meant to purify the heart and elevate consciousness from crude appetite to the highest spiritual taste. Drawing from Bhagavad-gītā 2.57 and Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura's explanation of Dhenukāsura as the ass-like mentality of gross sensuality—overcome by Balarāma as guru-tattva—they show why the greatest wealth in life is finding guidance that reveals the true value of spiritual life, and seeking it with real intensity.
