Reflection: The Power of Presence and Prapatti
are taught to "10X" alternative:
Saint Embar’s life was defined by Prapatti (absolute surrender). In an age where we our personal brands and exert constant control, Embar’s life offers a cooling the strength of alignment.- the sun’s feet. Service as a Way of Life: Embar did not seek to be the sun; he was content being the shadow that never left This is the ultimate form of Kainkaryam (selfless service).
- The Compassion of a Saint: His act of removing a thorn from a snake's mouth reminds us that our spiritual "rank" is measured by our empathy for the lowliest of beings.
Conclusion
