Translation
Sūta Gosvāmī said: O great sages! After the great yogī Śukadeva Gosvāmī heard King Parīkṣit's inquiry, he praised it and replied.
Personal Guidance
Sūta tells how Śukadeva, hearing the king's question, praised it and answered. A good question is itself a spiritual offering, and a wise teacher honors it before answering.
Reflection Questions
- When others bring me questions, do I honor them or rush to answer?
- What question of my own deserves to be asked out loud rather than buried?
