Personal Guidance
The Lord glanced mercifully and then departed for Gandhamādana — divine attention comes and goes by His will, not our schedule. Receive the glance gratefully when it comes; release the Lord to His next service.
Reflection Questions
- Do I demand sustained divine attention, or receive what comes with gratitude?
- Can I release the Lord to His other work without feeling abandoned?
