Bhagavad Gita 2.32

यदृच्छया चोपपन्नं स्वर्गद्वारमपावृतम्। सुखिनः क्षत्रियाः पार्थ लभन्ते युद्धमीदृशम्॥

yadṛichchhayā chopapannaṁ swarga-dvāram apāvṛitam sukhinaḥ kṣhatriyāḥ pārtha labhante yuddham īdṛiśham

Translation

Happy the Kshattriyas, O Pârtha, who obtain such a fight, offered unsought as an open door to heaven.

What it means

Happy the warriors who find such a battle come unsought, an open door to heaven. When duty arrives without being chased, accepting it is alignment, not ambition.

Try this today

A just challenge that arrives uninvited is an opportunity, not an imposition.

Something to reflect on

What challenge arrived uninvited that might be my door, not my interruption?
