Personal Guidance
Ketumān, Bhīmaratha, Divodāsa, Dyumān — even the dynasty of the healing avatāra continues by ordinary means. Divine origin does not exempt a line from ordinary work of generation, governance, and care.
Reflection Questions
- Whose 'divine origin' makes me expect them not to need ordinary support?
- Where am I exempting myself from the ordinary because I assume a higher calling?
