Personal Guidance
Cākṣuṣa, son of Cakṣu, becomes the sixth Manu with sons led by Pūru. Generations of Manus quietly do their duty without seeking fame. Faithful work in one's assigned role, even unfamous, is itself a continuation of the Lord's universal plan.
Reflection Questions
- What unfamous work am I being asked to do as my contribution to the universal order?
- Where am I requiring my faithfulness to come with recognition before I will sustain it?
