Personal Guidance
After drinking, Ambarīṣa meditates on the Lord in his heart, waiting for Durvāsā's return. The devotee's intelligent compromise is followed by surrendered waiting, not anxious activity.
Reflection Questions
- After making a tough call, do I keep stirring or do I sit with the Lord?
- Where could waiting in meditation be the most active thing I do today?
