1591: What's Good? What's Bad? (And How Our Minds are Lying to Us)

Prince Hamlet collides with Śrīmad Bhāgavatam in this mind-bending episode on the illusion of "good and bad." Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Bhakti Yoga, mental programming, and the transformative power of staying steady amid life's chaos. They unpack a verse that flips the spiritual script: liberation doesn't require a cave—it requires clarity. With vegan cheesecake hangovers, Tom Sawyer tricks, and a dose of Shakespearean angst, this episode reveals how kings lived as yogis—and how your own messy, modern life can become sacred ground for spiritual evolution.

Key Highlights: •⁠ ⁠"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." — Hamlet (and basically the Bhāgavatam too) •⁠ ⁠Why your mind is a meaning-making machine—and how that distorts reality •⁠ ⁠Eastern philosophy says good and bad are illusions—here's what that really means •⁠ ⁠The Bhagavad-gītā's bold message: you can transcend duality without renouncing your responsibilities •⁠ ⁠How tolerance is the first quality of a true sadhu or yogi •⁠ ⁠Why red isn't good, blue isn't bad, and Denmark is just a mindset
