Citraketu Offends Śiva, Is Cursed by Pārvatī, and Is Glorified as a Vaiṣṇava
नाहं विरिञ्चो न कुमारनारदौ न ब्रह्मपुत्रा मुनय: सुरेशा: । विदाम यस्येहितमंशकांशका न तत्स्वरूपं पृथगीशमानिन: ॥ ३२ ॥

It says that even exalted beings like Brahmā, Nārada, the Kumāras, great sages, and demigod leaders can only grasp tiny portions of the Lord’s intention, so His full nature and will remain beyond independent, ego-based speculation.

Practice humility: accept that not everything is controllable or fully knowable, reduce ego-driven decision-making, and cultivate devotion and trust—seeking guidance through prayer, scripture, and saintly counsel.
