Personal Guidance
Seeing the Lord surrounded by Sunanda and intimate associates, Prahlāda was overwhelmed with tears of jubilation and fell head-first in obeisance. Even Prahlāda, seasoned, is undone by the sight of the Lord in His retinue.
Reflection Questions
- Have I let the sight of the Lord's retinue — His devotee circle — affect me to tears?
- Where do I keep emotional reserve when scripture would have me overwhelmed?
