Giriraj Swami read and spoke from Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.3.17.
“Generally we think, ‘Old age—how terrible; disease—how terrible.’ But if those serve as an impetus to our Krishna consciousness and thus help us realize our eternal, blissful life with Krishna, they are favorable. So we should learn to take every situation as Krishna’s mercy—as an opportunity to remember Krishna more. Actually, everything we experience in this world is meant to help us think of Krishna more. Sometimes in difficulty a person’s Krishna consciousness is accelerated. When things are going well we may think we don’t need God, but then when things go wrong we realize that we do need Him.”
