Personal Guidance
After instructing the King, the Lord immediately disappeared; Satyavrata began to wait. Divine presence is brief; instruction lingers. The discipline is to wait in the absence after.
Reflection Questions
  • After a divine instruction, do I wait properly or fill the absence with anxious activity?
  • What current waiting period is itself part of the instruction given?
