Self-Reflection Prompts
  • How does the concept of cyclic creation (*Srishti* and *Pralaya*) contrast with linear views of history? How does it help us accept change and impermanence?
  • If you are eternally protected inside God's energy even during the cosmic dissolution, why should you fear any worldly crisis?
