Personal Guidance
Worship Viṣṇu with great faith and devotion, living only on milk, offering oblations, feeding brāhmaṇas. Twelve days of focused practice. Intensity in a bounded time produces what diffuse effort cannot.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I spread spiritual effort thin instead of concentrating it in bounded windows?
- What twelve-day intensity could I commit to this year?
