Personal Guidance
A sudden roar can disrupt the most peaceful scene. The material world is full of such roars — losses, shocks, alarming news — that destabilize even the careful. Inner steadiness is the only real shelter; the outer world will keep roaring.
Reflection Questions
- What recent 'roar' in your life knocked you off-balance more than it should have?
- What practice is steadily building your immunity to the next one?
