Personal Guidance
With devotion and humility, pray to the Lord and Lakṣmī, smell the offered remnants, then worship again. The cycle of worship is iterative, not single-pass.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I treat worship as one-pass when iteration is what is recommended?
- What would re-entering worship after the meal look like?
