Personal Guidance
Udāvasu, Nandivardhana, Suketu, Devarāta — the dynasty continues quietly. There is a meditative usefulness to simply hearing each name acknowledged, even though we will not remember them.
Reflection Questions
- Can I learn to honor people I will not remember, simply as part of practice?
- Where am I withholding even casual respect because I do not see future advantage?
