He knew that, regardless of their strength or skill, unblessed they were blessed by God to throw they wouldn\u2019t be able to. The Stoics understood it. They called it \u201camor fati\u201d \u2014 love of fate. There are things within our control and things outside our control. The wise person focuses entirely on what's within their control and releases entirely what's outside. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how doing one\u2019s best and then accepting one\u2019s fate is favorable for Bhakti, alongside the Bhagavad-g\u012bta\u2019s five factors of action and the Mahabharata\u2019s story of Drona, who taught the military arts to the student who he knew was fated to kill him.
