हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन कहते हैं: हे विष्णु, आप अपने जलते मुखों से चारों ओर के सभी लोकों को निगलते हुए उन्हें चाट रहे हैं। आपकी उग्र किरणें पूरे जगत को तेज से भरकर तपा रही हैं।

Practise it today

Look at one thing you own that is wearing out, a shoe, a phone or a book, and thank it for its service instead of feeling upset that it is ageing.

Reflect tonight

What ageing thing did you thank today? Did it change how you feel about change and loss?
