Text 40] Expansions of Advaita Acarya 23

PURPORT

This is an authoritative judgment by Sri Advaita Prabhu. He clearly advises that
one should not be unhappy when reverses come upon him by the order of the Su-
preme Personality of Godhead. A devotee should always be happy to receive the
fortune awarded him by the Supreme Lord, which seems pleasant or unpleasant ac-
cording to one’s judgment.
