Personal Guidance
Brahmā doesn't just send the demigods to Kailāsa — he leads them there himself. Real leaders don't outsource the hard apology; they walk into the awkward room first.
Reflection Questions
- Whom am I sending to make my apologies for me instead of going in person?
- When was the last time I personally led a difficult conversation rather than delegating it?
