Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev Goswami gives an idea how to accept what comes our way .
My karma has come to face me, to surround me, and I can’t avoid that. It is a result of my own karma, it came from within me. I must not quarrel. I must do the proper thing in dealing with that. We have to scrutinize what we thought we understood more accurately, and find out within , where am I? What is my real need? And how much is my hankering for the real thing(exclusive devotional service). All these things will be expressed. So, this is the real field of sadhana.
My sadhana, my advancement needs all these difficulties. Otherwise, we may not know what is progress.
