Personal Guidance
Each manvantara has its specific sages, demigods, and Indra. The cosmos is not chaotic; positions are filled, duties are assigned. Take your own role seriously — somewhere in the universal arrangement, a small post is currently entrusted to you.
Reflection Questions
- Which 'post' in my family, work, or community is currently mine to occupy faithfully?
- Am I treating my responsibilities as cosmic service or as inconvenient burdens?
