Personal Guidance
Aṅgirā: I am the same who gave you this son — and this is Nārada, direct son of Brahmā. The teacher names himself and his colleague clearly; transparency is part of the instruction.
Reflection Questions
- Do my teachers identify themselves clearly to me, or are they generic?
- What does clear naming do for trust?
