Personal Guidance
The Lord descended into the Bhṛgu dynasty to release the universe from the burden of undesirable kings. Every painful clearing in history is, at depth, the Lord lightening the earth for those who would otherwise be crushed.
Reflection Questions
- Where in current events do I notice a 'clearing' that, however painful, may be lightening a real burden?
- How could a longer view soften my reaction to the immediate cost?
