Frightened by the braying, birds flew from their nests while shrieking. The cows in their pens and in the forest passed urine and stool. The birds were frightened by the braying of the asses (rāsabhāt).

Personal Guidance

Birds flee shrieking, cattle pass dung and urine — frightened life empties itself when something fearful arrives. Even the body has emergency responses to the spiritually wrong.

Reflection Questions

When my body reacts strongly in a situation, am I listening to it as a spiritual signal?
What around me right now is making other beings empty themselves out?
