Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2: The Path of Understanding

Bhagavad Gita 2.32

yadṛcchayā copapannaṃ svargadvāramapāvṛtam | sukhinaḥ kṣatriyāḥ pārtha labhante yuddhamīdṛśam ||

Fortunate are the warriors, Arjuna, who meet with a battle like this, which has come unsought, like an open door to heaven.

Modern context

Krishna reframes the situation. Arjuna sees a disaster; Krishna calls it an opportunity that came unsought, a chance to stand for what is right when it truly counts. The hard moments we would never choose are often the ones that ask for the best in us.
