Do not try to rectify reversals

Posted on September 13, 2012

…We should always remember that if something happens by providential
arrangement, we should not be very sorry. The more we try to rectify such
reversals, the more we enter into the darkest region of materialistic
thought.

PURPORT

Sometimes the saintly or very religious person also has to meet with
reversals in life. Such incidents should be taken as providential. Although
there may be sufficient cause for being unhappy, one should avoid
counteracting such reversals, for the more we become implicated in
rectifying such reversals, the more we enter into the darkest regions of
material anxiety. Lord Krsna has also advised us in this connection. We
should tolerate things instead of becoming agitated.
