From anguish to optimism

न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्याद्
यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम् ।
अवाप्य भूमाव्सपत्नम्रद्धं
राज्यं सुराणमपि चाधिपत्यम् ॥


Translation:
I can find no means to drive away this grief which is drying up my senses. I will not be able to dispel it even if I win a prosperous, unrivalled kingdom on earth with sovereignty like the demigods in heaven.

If Arjuna could learn to overcome his distress and go on to fight the war, what I'm going through is nothing.

God does find ways to give us strength. We can hope for a better tomorrow, even if all our dreams have been shattered today.
