In this letter, Swamiji provides consolation and encouragement for the devotee to use adversity as an opportunity to strengthen his faith and spiritual growth:
Very sorry to understand that … had an accident. May He protect us all. And He does— or else who brings the doctor at the right time to the spot?! Please let me know that it is nothing and she is progressing well. How far were you shot off your balance when this impact of the news came to you? And how quickly could you find your balance?
This in itself is an intense sadhana. Live in the present, without wasting your time and energy trying to relive the past …. Remember, none of us is Nārāyaṇa, and it is His job to nourish, nurture, feed, clothe, and preserve. He is not an unjust God.
