Personal Guidance
Her name is Arci; she'll beautify even her ornaments and become Pṛthu's queen. Some souls beautify everything they touch; whoever wears them is more honored than ornament-wise.
Reflection Questions
- Whom in my life beautifies what they're given, rather than just being decorated by it?
- Where could I be more 'Arci-like,' adding beauty to the role rather than drawing it from the role?
