Personal Guidance
Maṇimān arrested Bhṛgu, Vīrabhadra arrested Dakṣa, Caṇḍeśa arrested Pūṣā, Nandīśvara arrested Bhaga — each offender met a specific agent. The Lord arranges precise retribution; consequences are not random.
Reflection Questions
- Where in my life have specific agents arrived for specific patterns I've cultivated?
- What does the precision of consequence reveal about cosmic order?
