Personal Guidance
Paraśurāma, returning to the āśrama and hearing the news, becomes 'angry as a trampled snake.' Some offenses produce a wrath whose intensity is itself a function of how sacred the violated relationship was.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose anger have I underestimated by misreading how sacred a relationship was to them?
  • Where might my own slow anger actually be a clue to what is most sacred in my life?
