Personal Guidance

Lamentation rises throughout the worlds at the loss of Pariksit. Genuine saints leave a hole in the world that creation itself feels. Our mourning, properly held, can become honoring rather than only grief.

Reflection Questions

Whose passing have I genuinely mourned, and have I let that mourning become honor?
What in their life still teaches me, alive after they have gone?
