O my friend, [tell me] whether Ugrasena, the King of the Sātvatas, Vṛṣṇis, Bhojas and Dāśārhas, is now doing well. He went far away from his kingdom, leaving aside all hopes of his royal throne, but Lord Kṛṣṇa again installed him.

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

How is Ugrasena, the king of the Sātvatas, Vṛṣṇis, Bhojas, Dāśārhas, who had lived in exile and whom Kṛṣṇa established on the throne. How is Ugrasena, the king, whom, being situated far away after giving up his desire to rule (nṛpāsana āśām) out of fear for his life, and whom Kṛṣṇa (sata-patra-netraḥ) installed on the throne?

Personal Guidance

Even rightful leaders sometimes step aside in despair until Krsna restores them. If you have been pushed out of a role you were meant to hold, do not grasp for it; trust the Lord's timing for reinstatement.

Reflection Questions

What position or role have you 'left' that you may be meant to take up again, but only on Krsna's terms?
How does waiting for the Lord's prompting differ from passively giving up?
