1236: What We Meditate Upon, We Become

RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

Raghu's official apology to Bob Marley / "We become what we think about most of the time, and that's the strangest secret." - Earl Nightingale / Only if one contemplates something continuously does it become fixed as internal consciousness and manifest as a part of one's nature. - Sri Madhvacharya / spiritual culture makes it easy to meditate all the time / Krishna is the most purifying force / Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail / "Everything is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa and is acting and moving by the supreme desire of Kṛṣṇa. This understanding, this consciousness, is Kṛṣṇa consciousness." - Srila Prabhupada / Raghu would be looking for Sisupala's head
