Personal Guidance
In the eighth manvantara, Bali Mahārāja will be Indra. The defeated demon king of today becomes the king of heaven tomorrow. Defeat by the Lord does not end one's career; sometimes it elevates it spectacularly.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I treating a current defeat as permanent, when it may be the setup for a future elevation?
- What 'defeat by the Lord' might be preparing me for a role I cannot now imagine?
