Personal Guidance
Generation after generation, the Bhāgavatam patiently lists names. Each represents a soul who once felt their life was the center of the universe — a sobering reminder of our place in the long line.
Reflection Questions
- How does it feel to picture my own name in such a list, between two unknown others?
- Knowing my life will be one line at most, what do I want that line to truly stand for?
