Svāyambhuva Manu would arrive in two days.

Personal Guidance
After the Lord's departure, Kardama waits at Bindu-sarovara for the foretold time. Faithful waiting at the appointed place is itself an active spiritual practice. Not every season calls for movement.
Reflection Questions
- What 'Bindu-sarovara' am I called to stay at while waiting for the foretold time?
- How do I distinguish faithful waiting from passive avoidance?
