Personal Guidance
The virāṭ-puruṣa situates Himself in the golden egg lying on water and divides it into many departments. The Lord works through organization, not chaos. Cosmic creation is a project of careful departments.
Reflection Questions
- Have I organized my life into appropriate 'departments,' or is everything mixed together?
- Where does the Lord's example of structured creation challenge my disorganization?
