TRANSLATION

The process of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very wonderful.
One who is intelligent should accept that process and be satisfied with
whatever comes, favorable or unfavorable, by His supreme will.

PURPORT

The great sage Narada instructed Dhruva Maharaja that one should be
satisfied in all circumstances. Everyone who is intelligent should know
that because of our concept of bodily existence, we are subjected to
suffering and enjoyment. One who is in the transcendental position,
beyond the concept of bodily life, is considered to be intelligent. One who
is a devotee especially accepts all reverses as gifts of the Supreme Lord.
When a devotee is put into distress, he accepts this as God’s mercy and
offers Him repeated obeisances with his body, mind and intellect. An
intelligent person, therefore, should be always satisfied, depending on the
mercy of the Lord.
