Utthishtha – Be ready!
«Therefore get up!Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasācī, can be but an instrument in the fight» (Bhagavad-gītā, 11.33).
For those with some faith in life, things happen for a reason. Those who do not believe in this vision of things, however, have the opportunity to learn from what happens to be more prepared in the future in case it happens again. Clinging stubbornly to a situation without accepting its change is not convenient, indeed it is often even counterproductive. Do this Leo exercise, accept the change and strive to understand what teaching can give you what happens to you.
