Personal Guidance
Lord Siva passes through the sky on his bull with Rudrani and his associates, and notices the sage in trance. Even Mahadeva pauses for a devotee absorbed in samadhi. Holy stillness draws the high to come close.
Reflection Questions
- Whose 'holy stillness' have I been drawn to recently?
- How can I cultivate a little more of it in my own day?
