TRANSLATION "My dear King, do not be agitated and anxious because your
sacrifices have not been properly executed due to providential
impediments. Kindly take my words with great respect. 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.
(Lord Brahma speaking to Maharaja Prthu, Srimad Bhagavatam 4.19.34)
