Gauḍīya
Translation
See the sun with weak light fighting with other planets in the sky, [Note: Astrologically this means that the sun is very close to the other planets in the sky. This is not auspicious.]and see the earth and heavens ablaze with the followers of Śiva along with other beings.
Commentary
See the blazing earth and heavens (rodasī) with Śiva’s attendants mixed with other living beings (sa-saṅkulaiḥ).

Personal Guidance
Sun's rays decline, stars fight among themselves, confused beings appear ablaze and weeping. Even cosmos quarrels. We are not above the cosmic mood.
Reflection Questions
- Where is my mood entangled with larger ones I haven't noticed?
- What grounding would help me be less swept by collective turbulence?
