Personal Guidance
Sītā is found 'lean and thin' beneath the Siṁśapā tree, grieving His absence. The Lord notices, in detail, what separation from Him does to His devotees — He does not arrive untouched by what we have suffered.
Reflection Questions
- Have I let the Lord see the actual leanness my separation from Him has caused?
- Where am I pretending I am fine while a part of me is sitting under a tree, waiting?
