Diśi – direction 

«O enemy of Kaṃsa! All the Brahmās, accepting Your order to create, create all the new universes. All the Śivas destroy all the old universes on Your order to destroy. All Your expansions in the form of Viṣṇus, protectors of the universe, carry out Your order to protect the newly created universes. All the masters of the universes in all directions are awaiting Your order» (Sri Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu,2.1.108).

Brahman, Prajapati or whoever primordial Being ,superior to the whole of creation, gods included, gives the commands to operate this wheel of existence. The direction is established by Him. In Him is the source and secret of life.

Life forces you to change direction from what you thought or wanted or simply what you were used to. The more you oppose this change, the more tensions increase. Maybe it’s the fear of repeating certain mistakes or reliving certain wounds that make you resist, but military resistance is not always the solution. Look for a more peaceful way, squeeze your mind for a creative solution, maybe there is a new possibility that you have never contemplated before, but that could be ideal for you.
