How to take if we lose something or everything in life?

SRILA PRABHUPADA SAYS:

“For our sense gratification we are very eager to get things we do not have. That is hankering.  And when we lose something, we lament. 

But if we know that  Krsna is the source and proprietor of the entire material energy, we understand that everything belongs to Him and that anything gained is given by Him for His service. 

Thus we do not hanker for the things of this world. 

Furthermore, if something is taken away by Krsna, then what is the need for lamentation? 

We should think, "Krsna wanted to take it away from me. Therefore, why should I lament? The Supreme Lord is the cause of all causes. He takes away, He also  gives." 

When one is thus in full knowledge, there is no more lamentation and no more hankering. 

That is the spiritual platform. 

Then you can see everyone as a spiritual spark, as part and parcel of  Krsna, and as His eternal servant. Krsna, the Supreme Pure!”
